Fr. Zbigniew Morawiec (US), Fr. David Szatkowski (US) and Fr. Gustave Lulendo (Canada) represented North America at “Anthropologia Cordis,” an international seminar focusing on the anthropology of Dehonian (SCJ) spirituality. The week-long gathering got underway February 2 with an opening Mass and dinner in Taubaté (approximately two hours from Sao Paolo).
In his opening homily Fr. John van den Hengel, vicar general, said that “You [the young SCJs gathered] represent the future… On you the congregation counts to be the bearers of the tradition and legacy of Fr. Dehon. We need your voices to take the congregation into this post-modern world.”
Fifty-three SCJs from five continents are present at the conference, which concludes on February 7.
Throughout the week we’ll post information from the conference here.
