Beloved Confreres, I greet you in the precious name of Jesus! September is a month of special importance for us, the Missionaries of St. Francis de Sales. On the 14th, the Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross reminds us that the Cross is the heart of our missionary consecration and the source of our strength in carrying out the Gospel mission. On the 15th, the Feast of Our Lady of Sorrows invites us to walk with Mary, who stood faithfully at the foot of the Cross, and to embrace her as our companion and model in mission. Finally, on September 30th, we gratefully celebrate Founder’s Day, recalling with deep joy and gratitude the life and legacy of our beloved Founder, Servant of God Fr. Peter Mary Mermier. His vision, “to renew the faith and to rekindle the Christian spirit,” continues to inspire us to live our Salesian vocation with Ridelity, creativity, and missionary zeal. Together, these feasts make September a true month of grace, renewal, and recommitment for every MSFS.
