Knowledge lights the path of faith. During this month, a series of dialogue-based webinars will be offered to nourish both critical thinking and spirituality. Through the sharing of charismatic reflections, theological studies, and pastoral experiences, we open spaces for conversation that strengthen our understanding of the world and our commitment to the Amigonian mission.
Webinars 2025
1. “Being Young and Living with Hope: The Legacy of Luis Amigó Today”
Saturday, September 20 (Streaming – Online)
“When Father Luis Amigó began this adventure of the heart in the 19th century, he probably didn’t imagine that his charism would still ignite flames in young hearts over a hundred years later. This gathering is born from the desire to look forward with youthful eyes, without losing our roots, but projecting hope. Today, we want to listen to those who are the present and the future of the Amigonian charism. They don’t just carry the legacy—they recreate it. In them, the young face of our charism becomes a living testimony that hope is not an idea, but a way of being in the world.
Let us listen, then, to the voices of young people who today embody the Amigonian charism as witnesses of hope and continuity. As Pope Francis said in Christus Vivit n.178, “Young people are the now of God.””
2. “Walking with the Vulnerable: Amigonian Mission on the Peripheries”
Saturday, September 27 (Streaming – Online)
“Mission is not a destination, it is a way of walking. This is how Father Luis Amigó lived it, and how today brothers, sisters, lay men and women all over the world—especially in the peripheries—make tenderness and justice present. To be prophets does not mean predicting the future, but reading the present through God’s eyes and announcing a hope that does not disappoint.
In this gathering, we will hear voices of those who live the mission with radicality, sensitivity, and commitment. Let us reflect on our commitment to the peripheries through educational and social mission as a prophetic expression of the Amigonian charism, guided by Evangelii Gaudium n.20–24 on ‘a Church that goes forth,’ and by the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (1989) as an ethical framework for educational action.”
3. “A Life Offered with Hope”: Testimony of the Venerable Sr. Inés Arango Velásquez
Saturday, October 4 (Streaming – Online)
“There are lives that make no noise, yet echo forever. Sister Inés Arango Velázquez lived her consecration as a silent offering, deeply committed to the Gospel and to the little ones. In a context of marginalization and fragility, her fidelity became testimony. This gathering is meant to be a grateful remembrance, and above all, a seed of hope for those who see in her a humble yet powerful beacon.
Let us deepen our understanding of the martyrdom and witness dimension of Amigonian life as a hopeful surrender, inspired by Christifideles Laici on the vocation of the laity to Christian witness and the canonization process as a sign of lived faith in the ordinary.”
4. “Witnesses of Hope: The Living Wisdom of Our Elders”
Saturday, October 11 (Streaming – Online)
“We live in times where novelty often seems more valuable than depth. However, in our Amigonian family, we recognize that the wisdom of our elders is a lamp we do not wish to extinguish. This gathering is intended as a tribute and a moment of listening—because hope is also written with wrinkles, with memory, with hands that may no longer work as before, but still bless.
Let us pay tribute to those who have consecrated their lives to the Amigonian charism and who continue to be a living presence of wisdom, memory, and hope. As Fratelli Tutti n.195 states: ‘A society that discards the elderly carries within it the virus of death.’”
