Italy - "Shepherd the flock that is entrusted to you" (1 Peter 5:2): the Curatorium of the Crocetta
Turin, Italy-April 2023 - Last April 18, at the Salesian Theological Studentate in Turin-Crocetta, the Curatorium, the gathering of Salesian superiors co-responsible for the interprovincial and, in this case, International formation house, was held. Fr Juan Carlos Pérez Godoy, Councilor for the Mediterranean Region, presided over the meeting, and nine Superiors from Salesian Provinces participated: Fr Leonardo Mancini (ICP); Fr Igino Biffi (INE); Fr Giuliano Giacomazzi (ILE); Fr Stefano Aspettati (ICC); Fr Peter Timko (SLK); Fr Marko Kosnik (SLO); Fr Martin Hobza (CEP); Fr Tihomir Sutalo (CRO); and Fr Reinhard Gesing (GER). Also present were the ICP Provincial Economer, Fr Giorgio De Giorgi, and the Dean of the Faculty of Theology from UPS in Rome, Fr Antonio Escudero. Also attending from the community were the Director, Fr Marek Chrzan, the Dean, Fr Cristian Besso, and the Economer, Br. Jose Trigona. The agenda included the Director's report on the progress of the community's educational life, the Headmaster's report on school aspects, and the Economer's report on economic issues. All these issues provoked fruitful discussion among those present, with an attempt to seek solutions and proposals for continuous improvement. There was also room in the day's program for a meeting of the Provincials with young Salesians from their respective Provinces to discuss the issues presented.
