  • SACRED HEART OF JESUS PARISH – HSINCHU

    Without exaggerations whatsoever, I want to express heartfelt love for this Church under the title of THE SACRED HEART OF JESUS. This parish is found in Hsinchu Diocese and originally founded and formed by the Jesuit  missionaries since 43 years ago (as I noted in thee previous Article). The bishop has since this month (January…

  • A NEW BEGINNING IN THE PARISH

    The 1st of January 2017 became the springboard of a “New Beginning” for our young mission in Taiwan. It is really unbelievable that the dreadful two year of Chinese Mandarin studies are no more and that meant that the famous grace period of “watching around and learning the culture” was over; now it is time…

    Piedra sobre piedra, vamos construyendo el puente

    Ya hace dos años que llegamos a Taiwán los primeros tres misioneros de la Consolata, Mathews, Piero y yo para iniciar esta nueva misión en el continente asiático. Ya hemos terminado esta primera etapa de aprendizaje del mandarín. Ganas teníamos de terminar, pues el cansancio por el esfuerzo continuo de memorizar nuevas palabras, aprender bien…

  • TWO YEARS OLD MISSION

    It’s unbelievable that today the 12th of September 2016 marks exactly two years of our presence in Taiwan as Consolata Missionaries. We can’t thank God enough for His faithfulness and care to us during these two challenging and yet interesting years. On the 12th of September 2014 was to be our most memorable day for…

  • A NEW BEGINNING

    It has been a full year since our brother, Fr. Piero returned back to Italy. Since then we learnt to appreciate the fact that God’s ways are not man’s ways; and so had to keep the new mission moving. Being only two in the mission had it’s challenges owing to the fact that this is…

  • YOUTH PASTORAL WORK IN TAIWAN

    “He who knows best knows how little he knows”. Working with young people is one of the Church’s main pastoral options and still remains a great challenge to the pastoral agents all around the world. Today more than ever before it is easy to notice the wide generation gap between the young people and the…

  • LANGUAGE = A KEY FACTOR TO EVANGELIZATION

    LANGUAGE is commonly known as the ability to acquire and learn complex forms of communication. It specifically refers to the human ability to do so. Having in mind that all form of language are basically tools for communication; therefore it makes imperative that for one to communicate, he/she needs to learn language. It is also…

  • “TIME IS THE BEST MEDICINE”

    Days and months have rapidly passed and without realizing, we are already at the 15th month (1 year and 3 months) of our stay in Taiwan. That which used to be an “infant mission” is actually slowly growing up, at least in terms of time covered so far, for which we really thank the Lord…

    a resistir como el bambú.

      Os tenía un poco olvidados, mis queridos  lectores de nuestro blog. Aunque suene a escusa, me cuesta ponerme a escribir pues siento que no tengo nada que os pueda interesar. Y es como os decía en otro artículo  cuando todo se hace un poco rutinario …ya os podéis imaginar. Ya han pasado un año…

  • INTER-RELIGIOUS DIALOGUE; A HARD NUT TO CRACK!

    In the ongoing Ordinary Synod of Bishops in Rome whose main focus is on “The Vocation and Mission of the Family in the Church and in the Contemporary World”, I have particularly been impressed by the excitement both from within and without the Church precincts. Apparently, it has been evident that people have rather diverse…
