WWWORLDORLDORLD DDDAYAYAY FORFORFOR CCCONSECRATEDONSECRATEDONSECRATED LLLIFEIFEIFE On February 1 the Word Day for Consecrated Life is celebrated. In 1997, Pope Saint John Paul II instituted a day of prayer for women and men in consecrated life. This celebration is attached to the Feast of the Presentation of the Lord on February 2nd. Thus, the gift of consecrated persons is highlighted as a vocation, a gift and a way of life.
This Feast is also known as Candlemas Day; the day on which candles are blessed symbolizing Christ who is the light of the world. So too, those in consecrated life are called to reflect the light of Jesus Christ to humanity.
St Ann’s Parish is blessed with two Religious Congregations. Let us learn a bit about both. The Carmelite Missionary Sisters of St Therese of the Child Jesus was founded by Rosa Curcio (Blessed Maria Crocifissa Curcio) and received official recognition in 1930. Rosa was born on January 30, 1877 in Ispica, Diocese of Noto, Sicily. Its goal was “to bring souls to God” by feeding the poor, educating children and supporting families. The Sisters spread out across Italy, and in 1947 she sent out the first missionaries to Brazil; the Congregation continues its good work today in Italy, Brazil, Malta, Canada, Tanzania, Philippines, Romania, Vietnam and Indonesia. Her whole adult life Rosa felt a call to the missions, but due to her health problems she was forced to stay put, be a loving mother to her sisters, and send them into the world.
Blessed Maria Crocifissa passed on July 4, 1957 in Santa Marinella, Italy of natural causes. On December 20, 2002 Pope John Paul II declared her heroic virtues. On November 13, 2005 she was beatified by Pope Benedict XVI.
The Congregation of the Missionaries of St. Charles – Scalabrinians – is an international community of religious serving migrants and refugees of different cultures, religions and ethnicities in more than 35 countries and on five continents. The Congregation was founded on November 28, 1887, by Blessed John Baptist Scalabrini (1839-1905), bishop of Piacenza (Italy). It was the period of massive emigration from Italy and Europe toward the Americas. It was a far-reaching phenomenon whose importance Bishop Scalabrini was able to grasp in both its social and religious dimensions.
Our province includes five countries (USA, Canada, Mexico, Guatemala and El Salvador). Scalabrinian priests and brothers come from 13 countries. Our missionary focus is to be present in the lives, struggles and dreams of our migrant brothers and sisters, serving in special way the poorest migrants.
Let us pray for those consecrated to God by the vows of chastity, poverty and obedience that they may witness, by their faith, a way of life and discipleship. Let us also pray for those who have responded to the prompting of the Holy Spirit to married, single or consecrated life, that they may experience the support of the Church as they continue their growth in holiness.
