Caritas Sisters of Jesus - International website in 6 languages
Rome, Italy, 1 July 2018 -- The Caritas of Jesus (CSJ in English or SCG in Italian = Suore di Carita' di Gesu') present their Congregation on the website in 6 languages: English, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese and Spanish. Each page is decorated also with the sunflowers - a symbol of Caritas Sisters spirituality 'We turn our sight to Jesus like the sunflowers'.
"Our Congregation was founded through the work of evangelising the Salesian missionaries that arrived in Japan in 1936 and it was born in Miyazaki in 1937 as a female religious institute, to which the name [Caritas] was given by Fr Antonio Cavoli, which means [God’s free love that is offered without boundaries]. In the name of the Congregation, they have echoed the Rector Major’s farewell speech (Don Rinaldi in 1925) to the missionaries sent to Japan, where despite social civilisation being at a high level, knowledge of Caritas as taught by Jesus Christ was missing. [Caritas as a unique means to instil ourselves in the souls of these people]. There are currently 950 sisters across 15 nations who strive to spread [Caritas], the merciful love of God.
Following this international expansion, in 1998 the Congregation was recognised as a Pontifical Institute, in 2008 the Generalate was transferred to Rome, and in 2009 the name was changed from [Caritas Sisters of Miyazaki] to [Caritas Sisters of Jesus] which better expresses our charisma.
On our renewed website you can understand our history, mission, stucture, current events from 6 provinces (Korea - Seoul, Korea - Suwon, Korea - Gwangju, Japan, Brazil and Peru-Bolivia) and other missions (South Sudan, Australia, USA, Germany, Papua New Guinea and Philippines).
In order to improve our communication we are looking for some volunteer translators (Italian - English - Korean - Japanese). Would you like to help us?
