Projects 177 - World CLC Day 2022

We will celebrate

1. World CLC Day as a National Community on Saturday, 26 March 2022 from 2:30-6:00 pm via zoom. Please register here: bit.ly/clcpworldclcday2022

Theme: From conversion to commitment: a path of love, joy, and friendship

Background:
We have been celebrating the 500th anniversary of the conversion of St. Ignatius of Loyola, our patron saint and father in spirituality. Ignatius, healed of his wound, offered himself completely to the Lord. We are also celebrating, on March 12th, 2022, the 400th anniversary of the canonization of St. Ignatius and St. Francis Xavier who, with several others, co-founded the Society of Jesus. Their friendship in Christ blossomed out of spiritual conversations, the kind of conversations that we seek to engage in CLC and even in our Church today. Drawing on the inspiration of St. Ignatius and St. Francis Xavier, we consider how to work through our woundedness to conversion, and we seek ways to offer ourselves to the Lord, through an increased desire to love, to serve, and to deepen our commitment to the CLC way of life on many levels.

We would end with a Mass to be celebrated by Fr. Bob Buenconsejo, SJ at 5:00PM (to be streamed at CLCP FB Page)

In Christ,

John Gamit
NCR CLC LC Coordinator

On March 25th, feast of the Annunciation, CLC celebrates its day every year. As we did last year, wanting to feel more like a world community, we invite you to a time of prayer, all together, on Saturday 26 March at 14:00 CET (9:00 PM PH TIME).

This year, the prayer has been prepared by the CLC national communities in Europe. We thank them for their generosity and their time to help us join in prayer.

The prayer will be available in the three official languages of CLC and can be followed at the following link: https://youtu.be/fdAUg5UyMH4

Please find attached the prayer guide for you to distribute to your members and for those who need a translation into another language.
