The gathering was a joyful opportunity to revisit the community&#8217;s charism and define its path for the coming years.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The community identified several priority areas for its future mission:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Formation:<\/b>\u00a0Strengthening the pillars of community life and Ignatian spirituality.<\/li>\n<li><b>Pastoral Care<\/b>: Renewed attention to youth, families, the elderly, the LGBTQIA+ community, and those who are separated or divorced.<\/li>\n<li><b>Apostolic Action<\/b>: Deepening the partnership with the Society of Jesus and taking responsibility for social peripheries, including migrants and those in prison.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The Assembly looked beyond national borders, reflecting on the journey of the universal Church and the World CLC. Contributions from Fr. Giacomo Costa SJ (General Secretariat of the Synod) and Cecilia Martinez (CLC World ExCo) helped frame the local experience within a global context.<\/p>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">A significant part of the reflection was dedicated to the current geopolitical situation. With the help of experts and moving testimony from a member of the CLC in Lebanon, participants explored how to implement a &#8220;disarmed and disarming peace&#8221; in today&#8217;s world. During the Assembly, Claudio Meliad\u00f2 was elected as the new National President for the 2026-2029 term, supported by a newly elected Executive Council.<\/div>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The vitality of the community was further celebrated during a Mass presided over by Fr. Ronny Alessio SJ (Provincial of the Euro-Mediterranean Province) and 10 members made their temporary or permanent commitment to the <a href=\"https:\/\/cvx-clc.net\/en\/where-we-are\/europe\/europe-info\/\">CLC<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The event concluded with a &#8216;Peace March,&#8217; crowning a journey begun in late 2024. By\u00a0<b>walking the equivalent distance from Kyiv to Gaza<\/b>, the community transformed a symbolic link into a tangible, physical commitment to peace.The march ended at the\u00a0<i>Tempio Malatestiano<\/i>\u00a0in Rimini with a final Eucharistic celebration, sending participants home as witnesses of hope and reconciliation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?
