MISSIONARY SPIRITUALITY
PROJECT America
Southern Cone
Its birth
Mother Antonia’s visit to the south of Chile (20-28 April 2002) has sparked in her the desire to share this missionary treasure with the whole Institute
Towards the end of the Chapter, Mother General invited the provinces of the CICSAL to launch the Missionary Spirituality Project
Through a letter sent to the provincials of the CICSAL (24 June 2003), Sr. Ciri expressed the desire of Mother General and the Council :
- to offer support and accompaniment to initiatives that will arise
- to entrust this project to the Mission ad gentes sector
Among the activities programmed for the next six-year period “one stands out: the CENTENNIAL OF THE DEATH OF LAURA VICUNA”
To celebrate this anniversary we have proposed to launch the Missionary Spirituality (Six-year Plan of the Mission Ad Gentes Sector)
Together with you we would like to initiate a process of reflection on the “Missionary Spirituality Project”, remembering that this proposal made
by Mother General during the GCXXI has been welcomed by you with joy and enthusiasm.
We hope that through the power of the Spirit, this seed may generate life, that is, a missionary presence that is always more authentic”

The different phases of the Project
Modality Through the use of documents of the period,
further reflection on texts of a historical-
missionary nature
Moments of personal and group reflection to
favour a “re-reading of relevant texts”
Workshops that will help recall the origins
and at the same time make a comparison with
what is lived in our times
Celebrations in historical places
Visit to historical places that recall the origins of our Congregation
Testimony of missionaries
Visit to the “MEMORY CORNER”
Reflection of mission ad gentes today of historical documents, under the profile of inculturation, of experience of God, of inter-cultural relations, of the Institute yesterday and today in the light of the GCXXI for a renewed vision of the Church
“They left with very few things...
Their poverty did not frighten them...
They were consoled by the
thought of living MORNESE in AMERICA...
They did not remain strangers: they immersed themselves to the new reality with eyes wide open in order to discover the
needs of the young people, to recognize every opportunity to
do good.”
125 years after the first missionary departure of the FMA, I, too, will travel to a few of the places in Patagonia and in the land of Tierra del Fuego during the month of April. They will be symbolic pauses to thank, encourage and at the same time to coninue to dream dreams which, bringing us back to the charismatic origins, will re-launch us toward new shores. Perhaps not always in expansion, but certainly in depth and in connection with today’s social reality.
