Dear friends,

First of all, I would like to apologize for the long period of silence due to the quarantine to which we all have been forced, due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

            As every year, on the occasion of the Easter holidays, we would have sent you the report cards of our children from the Cité des Jeunes Nazareth but, unfortunately, our activities had to be interrupted and we could only reach you through social networks.

            We had to postpone our annual Charity Dinner, to which a small delegation of our Rwandan boys had been invited, on the occasion of the celebrations for the centenary of the birth of St. John Paul II who, as you know, strongly wanted the construction of the Cité.

            We also had to postpone our annual mission to Rwanda, scheduled for October.

            However, the Nolite Timere onlus, despite the total closure period due to the quarantine, has always been active. Those who follow us on social networks know that we have organized a fundraiser to help the families of Giugliano who suddenly found themselves in serious difficulties, without work and therefore without the necessary means of support. In this regard, we are pleased to inform you that approximately € 4240.00 has been raised so far.

            The terrible experience from which, with the help of God, we are exiting, urges us to help those in need, to comfort those in despair. We are all children of the same Father and all members of the same family. It is therefore imperative to help each other.

That Jesus was no longer in the power of death, that He was alive forever (...)

The grave was empty, but the heart was full of a presence! And hope rekindled immediately!

My Dearest Friends,

Greeting you for the upcoming Easter holidays has become a pleasant custom for me.

The Resurrection is hope, it is joy, it is courage, and hope, joy and courage come to us from Christ who dies on the cross and rises; it enters our lives and accompanies us, even when we don't see Him.

Easter day invites us to change, asks us to become new women and new men: renewing ourselves means having the will “to get involved”, to do our best so that inequalities and injustices can be overcome; "taking charge" of the most needy people must be part of our daily life. May our Easter become solidarity with all those in need!

You have done a lot to help us in our mission, and still do it. We are therefore pleased to inform you that the Cité des Jeunes "Nazareth" will enrich this year with a new dormitory, the foundation stone of which was laid during our last mission in July 2019. The inauguration will take place this year and will be entitled to St. John Paul II whose centenary of birth will occur next May 18th.

We must live and share with everyone the hope of being able to change things, because they can be changed.

Therefore, I express to you and your families wishes for a holy and peaceful Easter

... AND VIDE AND CREDITS (Jn, 20, 8)
