Salutation to La Salette Laity International Rosary
Dear Brothers and sisters in Christ!
It is with great joy that I greet you on this special day, as you celebrate the La Salette laity day on September 10. Your tireless collaboration with the La Salette Missionaries is a true testament to the spirit of our Blessed Mother, Our Lady of La Salette.
On this occasion we are reminded of the powerful message. Our Blessed Mother shared with the children Melanie and Maximin - a message of hope, reconciliation, and a call to turn back to God. Your commitment to living out this message in your daily lives is an inspiration to all.
Through your support of the La Salette missions around the world, you are helping to spread the Good News and bring the love of Christ to those most in need. We are deeply grateful for your generosity of time, talent, and treasure, which sustains our important work.
As we look to the future, we humbly ask for your continued prayers and support. Pray with us for an increase in vocations to the La Salette priesthood and religious life, that more may answer the call to serve God's people. And continue to be shining examples of the La Salette charism, inviting others to encounter the tenderness and mercy of our Blessed Mother.
It is with great appreciation that I write to express my heartfelt gratitude to Mr. Mario Apone for his dedicated service as the international coordinator of the La Salette laity for past 12 years. The La Salette laity is truly grateful for his invaluable contributions.
I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate Mr. Javier Mendoza on his appointment as the new international coordinator. I have no doubt that his experience and leadership will propel the La Salette laity to new heights. I wish him the very best in this new endeavor and look forward to working with him.
Dear brethren, may our Blessed Mother, Our Lady of La Salette, guide and protect you and
your families. God bless you all and thank you for your invaluable partnership.
In Our Lady of La Salette,
Fr. Jojohn Chettiyakunnel Mathew MS
Superior General
INTERNATIONAL DAY OF LA SALETTE LAITY - SEPTEMBER 10th
Dear La Salette brothers, health and peace to you all!
The month of September, for us, La Salette Laity, is totally dedicated to our beloved Mother, Our Lady of Salette.
In all the places where there is devotion to Our Lady of Salette, La Salette laity in particular have redoubled their pastoral services and duties during the feasts and celebrations.
For us, it is a source of great joy to have a day dedicated to us - September 10th.
This date was set and approved at the end of the 1st. International Meeting of La Salette Laity - September 2011, on La Salette Mountain, where it all happened.
Faced with so many tasks and assignments on this day, I ask you to take some time, however short, and celebrate, commemorate and enjoy this date.
Invite your La Salette Missionaries to take part in all this with you. Maximin and Melanie, if they were alive, would certainly do this.
And don't forget to send a hug and a thank you to our Provincials, our parish priests, our Spiritual Directors and the members of the General Council, after all, they are the ones who have given us this opportunity to also be agents of reconciliation.
With a big and affectionate hug, in the hope of meeting you soon,
Mario Apone
International Coordinator of La Salette Laity
