United in the spirit of the Founder
reflections of the superior
On November 15, one hundred years ago, the first three Italian Guanellians disembarked, sent to pitch a tent of charity in this blessed land. Today, we are present in seven nations with over one hundred and ten confreres in forty religious communities. It was a project of promoting the poor, which has expanded thanks to the assistance of the Holy Spirit and the dedication of so many Guanellians who have traveled this land. Many are already in Heaven, heirs to the glory of the Father, because they loved him and served him in the poor. Among the confreres present in Latin America, some are originally from other nations, but many are indigenous, and this confirms how deeply the South American peoples have been drawn into our charism.

Spending one's life doing good is the dearest consolation and the most elect blessing that the Lord grants to his children, because to do charity is to do it to God whose favorite children are the poor. Don Luigi Guanella
