Brother Pascal has defended his Licentiate thesis

 

On 26 June 2017,after 4 years of study at the Pontifical Salesian University, Brother Pascalgave a very lively defence of his Licentiate in Education Science, on ThePedagogy of Vocations Formation.

 

The thesis wasentitled: An approach to inculturating the Formation of the Hospitaller Order ofSt John of God “Fatebenefratelli” in sub-Saharan Africa.

 

After setting outthe reasons for choosing his topic and defining the objectives, structure,limitations and methodology of his research, Brother Pascal approached thesubject in three chapters:

 

  1. The theoretical framework for the inculturation of Consecrated Life with particular reference to the African continent.
  2. The Hospitaller Order of the Brothers of Saint John of God and the problems of inculturation in Africa.
  3. Formation for incarcerating the Order of the Hospitaller Brothers of Saint John of God in Africa.

 

Brother Pascalsaid in his conclusion that the urgent task awaiting the African Brothers ofSaint John of God was to live an authentically African and authenticallyChristian Hospitaller way of life in communion with the local Church and the UniversalChurch, and the whole Hospitaller Order of St John of God, driven by the HolySpirit, “which blows where it chooses”.

 

We offer him our congratulationsand wish him every success in the service which will be required of him for thegood of vocations in the Order.
