【慈幼通訊社 ─ 2018 年 02月 08 日羅馬慈幼總部訊】 ─ 根據568/SG/2017號法令，總會長范達民神父根據聖教法典成立「聖若瑟」慈幼會團體，在羅馬Marsala 路42號，目的是為慈幼會總部提供服務。
這個團體需要依照聖教法典而成立，因為其所屬的教區轉變了，現在隸屬於羅馬教區。這個新成立的團體，符合聖教法典、慈幼會會憲及會規的準則和規定，並得到教宗的羅馬教區代理 及修會總部議會的認可。
這個新團體直屬總會長，並根據會憲第161條有關省會長職務的規定，總會長委派副總會長執行這個團體的策勵及管治工作。他與總部財務長及兩名總部議會成員，組成議會，任期三年。
這項法令也成立一個非常「大會」，代表直屬總會長的慈幼會各團體的會士，這大會根據其本身的規則運作，並為籌備全會代表大會而召開的。
這個新團體目前有38名慈幼會士登記為「成員」。
在羅馬聖心大殿的側堂，即現時新團體所在建築物的旁邊，有一幅巨大的聖像畫，描繪了瑪利亞、耶穌和整個教會，置於聖若瑟父親般照顧之下，不覺奇怪，這幅畫上方題寫了：「往若瑟處去吧」（Ite ad Joseph）。沒有比他更適合選作該團體的主保了。
New “San Giuseppe” community of Salesian HQ established (General Council)
(ANS – RMG –Rome, 08 February 2018) – By Decree 568/SG/2017, the Rector Major, Fr Ángel Fernández Artime, canonically established the “San Giuseppe” Salesian community, based in Rome, Via Marsala 42, whose purpose is to cater and provide to the services of the Salesian headquarters.
This community required a canonical establishment, due to its changed dioceses; it now belongs to the Diocese of Rome. The establishment of the new community, which complies with the norms and conditions of the Code of Canon Law, of the Salesian Constitutions and Regulations, took place with the consent of the Pope’s Vicar for the diocese of Rome and of the General Council of the Congregation.
The new community is directly dependent on the Rector Major, who delegates to his Vicar the faculties of animation and government of the community, as per Article 161 of the Constitutions which refers to the faculties of the provincial. He works with a Council constituted by the General Treasurer and two other members of the General Council, appointed for a three-year term.
The Decree also establishes an extraordinary Assembly representing the Salesians of the communities dependent on the Rector Major, which operates according to its own regulations and is convened in preparation for the General Chapter.
The new community currently has 38 Salesians enrolled as “members”.
There could be no better choice for the election of the community’s patron: on a large picture on the transept of the Basilica of the Sacred Heart in Rome, currently adjacent to the buildings of the new community, a depiction of Mary, Jesus and the whole Church placed under the paternal care of St. Joseph and, not surprisingly, inscribed above the scene: “Ite ad Joseph” (Go to Joseph).
