The magazine Catechisti Parrocchiali (Parish Catechists) marked its 50th anniversary of life on 5 May 2014 by means of a day dedicated to Jesus Master, Way, Truth and Life–the foundation and nucleus of the Pauline-Alberionian charism and of the catechetical apostolate entrusted to the Daughters of St. Paul.

Key speaker of the day was Fr. Giuseppe Forlai, igs, who guided a round table discussion on the new and original aspects of Fr. Alberione’s Christology, viewed within the framework of the spirituality of St. John of the Cross and St. Teresa of Avila. From a more feminine perspective, psychotherapist Franca Feliziani spoke about how women are more attentive than men when it comes to integrating the various aspects of human development with the development of faith, illustrating how they do so without creating divisions, directing the whole person to Christ.

Sr. M. Rosaria Attanasio, fsp,
focused on catechesis and communication in the thought of Fr. Alberione, saying that it is more than ever urgent today to concentrate on our receivers, who are immersed in the culture of communication, the digital world in particular. Fr. Salvatore Currò, an expert in catechesis, ended the day by competently coordinating the input of the speakers and the interventions of the participants.
