In the afternoon of September 15, 2015, Fr. John Joffer Lucas, RCJ accompanied Fr. Renato Arvin Ramirez to the airport. He was on his way to the newly opened Missionary Station in Melbourne, Australia. The community of the St. Hannibal Rogate Center, who's celebrating as well the 30th Anniversary of Religious Profession of Bro. Nilo Pelobello, RCJ, extended their wishes and prayers. May this attempt to begin Rogationist presence in that area be filled with grace and guidance from the Lord of the Harvest.












Carissimi confratelli, con dolore vi informiamo che nella mattinata di ieri, venerdì 11 settembre 2015, è stata trovata senza vita la la signora ANNA JURČÁROVA, di anni 85, nonna del nostro confratello Fr. Erik Šoltes. Dai primi accertamenti il decesso sembra essere sopravvenuto per cause naturali. Le esequie saranno celebrate lunedì 14 settembre, nel paese di Uz. Šalgov (distretto di Sabinov, nella regione di Prešov in Slovacchia). Vi invitiamo a pregare per l'anima della signora Anna e per Fr. Erik che, con i suoi parenti, sono provati interiormente per la dolorosa perdita. Cordiali saluti, P. Giovanni Sanavio





















The Rogationist STQP, invited his Lordship Cletus Perera and fifteen Sri Lanken priests for a fellowship meal. The bishop and a group of Sri Lanken priests came to Divine Retreat center, Chalakudy for their annual retreat. Today they fruitfully finished their retreat and responded to our invitation to come over to Aluva for a dinner. On behalf of the QP, Fr. Vinu Veluthppilly introduced the province and welcomed everybody to the friendship meal. It was intended to know and get in touch with the Sri Lanken priests as we begin our missionary presence in Sri Lanka. The bishop at the end thanked the community and invited all the priests to pray for the Rogationists and if possible to help the Rogationists to open the possibilities of beginning their apostolate in other dioceses. Fr. Unny Pottokkaran introduced the congregation, its charism and apostolate. Fr. Shajan thanked the bishop and the priests for accepting our invitation and for their valuable presence. 


These days, Fr. Breynard Peji took his turn to do the Community visitations to raise awareness and funds for the mission and project in Maumere, Indonesia. This year, in continuation of the earnest desire to support the completion of the Seminary Construction Project for the local candidates to the religious and priestly life there, the Rogationist Mission Day 2015, on its second year is dedicated by the General Government to the Indonesia. Let us continue to pray for the missions and the missionaries - humble instruments of God - who selflessly accepted in faith His call to carry on His ministry in a land other than their own. May their sacrifices bear fruit for their own good and the good of the entire Church!
