Missionaries of Our Lady of La Salette
Henryk Przezdziecki
Dear Brothers MS and Sisters SNDS,
A warm and sincere thank you to all for the possibility to have been able to listen, see, experience once again Maximin and Melanie’s encounter with the “Beautiful Lady”. Indeed, La Salette brothers and sisters who are preparing for perpetual vows gathered as one family, despite our cultural and linguistic differences, at the Holy mountain of La Salette, the very root of our two Congregations.
Two words come to mind when thinking about this experience that took place during the month of July: joy and light. Light: it recalls the Transfiguration of Jesus and his encounter with Moses and Elijah; it reminds us of the light that was surrounding Mary and the two children during the Apparition at La Salette; a light that reaches to all of La Salette brothers and sisters who are preparing for perpetual vows, since it is simply the light of the risen Christ. And then joy: the joy of gathering together to spend time in prayer and fraternal sharing; the joy of sharing the same commitment to the message of Our Lady of La Salette even though we come from many different cultural backgrounds; the joy of having prayed together at the Apparition site and Shrine which has deepened our fidelity to Jesus Christ and to the people of God through the compassionate love of Mary. The joy of having come together and learned about being faithful to our vows; together, we prayed Mass, Lauds and Vespers, each taking a part in our own languages. This international experience has broadened our horizons beyond just our Provinces. Our multicultural background, the various talks given to us and the recreational activities brought us great joy. What we experienced is the joy of having worked together and striving to make ours the Message of Our Lady of La Salette; the joy of being called together by Our Lady to go down to the valleys of our lives and to become new “Maximin” and “Melanie” for the people of God of our times.
The gathering was attended by 42 young Missionaries of Our Lady of La Salette: 11 from Angola (4 sisters and 7 scholastics), 9 from Madagascar (2 sisters and 7 scholastics), 6 scholastics from India, 5 scholastics from Brazil, 4 scholastics from the Philippines, 3 scholastics from Poland, 2 from the United States (1 priest and 1 scholastic) and 2 sisters from Myanmar,
We have grown through the cultural exchanges which has helped us see that we belong to a global community of La Salette Missionaries. Being here at the Shrine has also helped us connect to the history of our Congregation of which we have learned during our initial formation.
May God, through the intercession of our Mother of La Salette, bless the La Salette family, so that it may continue to live the joy of the Gospel in this world that needs Justice, Peace and Reconciliation.

El santuario de Ntra. Sra. de la Saleta de Siador debe su existencia a D. Francisco Mª de Rivas Taboada, nacido en Santiago de Compostela el 17 de octubre 1802, residió durante muchos años en la parroquia de Siador. Conoce D. Francisco el acontecimiento de la Aparición por la prensa y más en profundidad gracias a D. Narciso de Peñalver quien lleno de entusiasmo por propagar la Aparición dispuso que se tradujesen e imprimiesen miles de ejemplares de las obras referentes a la Aparición que se habían publicado en Francia. En 1862, D. Francisco, después de mantener una correspondencia intensa con D. Florencio Sanz, decidió con gran ilusión poner manos a la obra y establecer el culto de la Stma. Virgen María de la Saleta en la parroquia de Siador y en otros pueblos de Galicia.
El 25 de enero de 1863 se inicia en la capilla de Sestelo, enclavada en la parroquia de San Miguel de Siador, la novena a Ntra. Sra. de la Saleta ante una de las estampas que le había enviado el Sr. Sanz “pudiendo asegurar, según afirma D. Francisco en los Anales del Santuario de Siador, haber sido el primer culto que a la Reina de los Cielos se tributó en Galicia bajo la advocación de la Saleta”.
“La novena se celebraba por la noche, el tiempo estaba horroroso y las noches frías y oscuras, y sin embargo la concurrencia fue tan numerosa que no sólo asistieron los vecinos de esta parroquia de Siador, sino también muchos de la inmediata de Santa María de Cortegada”.
Vista la devoción de toda la comarca a Ntra. Sra. de la Saleta y especialmente la de los habitantes de la parroquia de Siador e inmediatas, y estimulado por algunas personas piadosas, D. Francisco María de Rivas decide proponer una subscripción con la cantidad que cada cual decidiese aportar para mandar construir un grupo de imágenes que representase la Aparición de María a los dos pastorcitos de la Saleta, y tributarle el debido culto en la iglesia parroquial de Siador. Con indecible entusiasmo la propuesta es aceptada.
El 26 de junio de 1864, la imagen de la Saleta con los pastores llega a la capilla de Sestelo, donde se celebra a las 12:00 la Eucaristía en la que participa con singular recogimiento una gran asamblea.
Una vez finalizadas las obras de un camarín en la parte lateral izquierda del templo parroquial, el 8 de abril de 1865 se traslada la imagen, donde permanecerá hasta 1926, año en que se coloca en el altar mayor, lugar en que actualmente es venerada.
La comunidad de Misioneros de la Saleta en Valladolid comienza en 1983 los contactos con el Obispo de Lugo, D. José Gómez González, para llevar a cabo el proyecto de atender el Santuario de la Saleta en Siador, proyecto que se hace realidad el 4 de marzo de 1984.
Al año siguiente de llegar a Siador se empiezan a adquirir terrenos que luego harán posible lo que hoy es zona de camping con las facilidades necesarias para que en los meses de verano asociaciones diversas y grupos puedan realizar acampadas y otras actividades.
La Comunidad de Siador al principio habitó en una pequeña casa enclavada en la parroquia. Después de un periodo de discernimiento se decidió construir un nuevo edificio que sirviera al mismo tiempo como residencia comunitaria y como centro para acoger a personas y grupos con inquietud espiritual. A finales de julio del 93, una vez obtenido del Ayuntamiento el permiso de edificar, se inician las obras. El acto simbólico de la colocación de la primera piedra se tiene el 20 de mayo de 1994. Aunque ya llevábamos meses viviendo en ella, fue el 2 de septiembre del 95 cuando se inaugura oficialmente la nueva residencia.
En la actualidad residen en ella los saletinos P. Gerardo Comeau, P. Amador Marugán, P. José Catanga y Hno. Jaime Agüero, quienes, junto con la atención de la Parroquia-Santuario de Siador, tambien atienden otras parroquias de la zona.
En el ayuntamiento de Silleda fue y sigue siendo grande la devoción a Ntra. Sra. de la Saleta, que se manifiesta cultualmente sobre todo cada año el 19 de septiembre y durante la novena que precede a este día celebrada mañana y tarde. Dentro de la misma es muy concurrida la procesión de antorchas que se realiza el día 17.

En noviembre de 2001 se crea la “Fundación Santuario de Nuesta Señora de la Saleta de Siador”, con personalidad jurídica. Su socio fundador es D. Roberto-José Rivas, descendiente de D. Francisco-María de Rivas, a quien, como ya se ha señalado, se debe el culto a Ntra. Sra. de la Saleta en Siador y en buena parte de Galicia.
La finalidad de la Fundación es la difusión saletina, el impulso del Santuario y cuanto concierne al mantenimiento, reparación y conservación del mismo y de su entorno ambiental; finalidad que no se ha quedado en el papel. Hasta la fecha gracias a la Fundacción se han llevado a cabo, entre otras, importantes restauraciones en el templo, así como la iluminación externa del mismo; así mismo, la reparación y acondicionamiento de edificaciones en la plaza de la iglesia.
Se debe, también, a la Fundación una estatua de Ntra. Sra. de la Saleta de gran tamaño, en bronce; y otra, en piedra, ubicada en una robleda de dos hectáreas, que linda con el Santuario, y adquirida por la Fundación para servicio del mismo en el 2006.
Su contribución a la celebración del Año jubilar ha sido decisiva, siendo de destacar, principalmente la exposición “Silleda en el siglo XIX” con sus tres Salas, “Civil”, “Saleta” y “Arte Sacro” durante los meses de junio a agosto de 2014, y las publicaciones y muy interesantes conferencias que con este motivo se impartieron.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------
A principios de los 90, la Fraternidad saletina de Siador va cogiendo fuerza como grupo de seglares con la finalidad de vivir la vida cristiana bajo el prisma de la Reconciliación desde el Evangelio y a la luz de la Aparición y el Mensaje de Ntra. Sra. de La Saleta.
Sus Estatutos son aprobados por el Obispo de Lugo, D. José Gómez González, en septiembre de 1993. En ellos se indica que la Fraternidad pretende que los asociados tengan espíritu misionero siendo miembros activos de la Iglesia y ciudadanos comprometidos orando y trabajando para ofrecer reconciliación.
A lo largo del año se realizan diversas actividades: la Asamblea General al inicio de cada curso, retiros, Día del Fraterno, peregrinaciones-excursiones, envío de hojas informativas y de reflexión, visitas a otros santuarios marianos y saletinos... Mediante apadrinamientos se ayuda a niños necesitados de países en vías de desarrollo.

Con ocasión del 150 aniversario del culto a María bajo la advocación de Ntra. Sra. de la Saleta en Siador, acabamos de celebrar un Año jublilar saletino, inugurado por Mons. Alfonso Carrasco, obispo de nuestra diócesis de Lugo, en la Eucaristía solemne del 19 de septiembre de 2013 y clausurado con la Coronación canónica de la imagen de Ntra. Sra. de la Saleta el 19 de septiembre de 2014.
A lo largo del Año jubilar hemos tenido como objetivo y seguimos teniendo en la actualidad lo expresado en la oración propia de dicho Año: - Que el eco de las palabras de María dirigidas a su Pueblo, la Iglesia, a través de Maximino y Melaina, continúe resonando en este Santuario.
- Que su auxilio maternal se prolongue reavivando nuestra fe, reafirmando nuestra esperanza y consolidando nuestro amor.
- Que ella, compañera fiel de nuestro peregrina, que con corazón maternal sale a nuestro encuentro, nos ayude a acercarnos más a su Hijo Jesús, a amarlo por encima de todo.
- Que descubramos, según el mensaje de su aparición misericordiosa, en la oración confiada, en la Palabra acogida, en la Eucaristía celebrada, en la penitencia practicada, la grandeza de la vida de su Hijo, la inmensidad de su amor, la maravilla de su salvación, y, jubilosos, ensalcemos su Nombre.
En fin, que ella inspire y aliente nuestras acciones, encuentros y celebraciones para que todo contribuya a ser más hijos del Padre y hermanos en Cristo, unidos por el amor del Santo Espíritu.
The first international La Salette Shrine Rectors meeting was held from April 13 to 19 at La Salette Shrine, France. 13 Shrine Rectors participated this meeting besides the General council and the translators. Fr. Adilson Schio M.S Vicar General and the General council animated the meeting. Fr. Atico Fassini M.S from Brasil gave conferences on various themes concerning shrine ministry such as La Salette Shrine Ministry, the significance of shrine in La Salette congregation, the origin of shrines in the world and in the Bible, new pastoral dimensions for the shrine ministry etc. Fr. Manuel dos Reis Bonfim M.S the rector of La Salette shrine France shared his experiences of participating in the shrine rectors meeting in Rome and in France. Frs. Henryk Kuman, Paulino Nguli and Biju Chempottickal served as translators to this meeting. All the shrine rectors presented a report about their shrines, its origin and history, various pastoral activities, the importance of the shrine, challenges of the future etc. The meeting decided to write a letter to the whole congregation to address the importance of shrine ministry in the La Salette congregation. It is the first ministry entrusted to the La Salette community by the bishop of Grenoble Mgr. Philibert de Bruillard. The participants of the meeting appreciated very much the General Council for the implementation of General Chapter decision 12 of 2012 in organizing shrine rectors meeting and proposed to continue this sort of meeting once in 3 or 4 years in the future.

La Salette Shrine Rectors’ Letter to the Congregation
Shrine of Our Lady of La Salette, France - April 19, 2015
First Ministry entrusted by Bishop Philibert de Bruillard to our Congregation
1- In the Year of Consecrated Life 13 Rectors of La Salette Shrines from France, Spain, Poland, Ukraine, Madagascar, Brazil, USA and the Philippines gathered at the International Shrine of Our Lady of La Salette, France. We would like to share our experiences and affirm the importance of Shrine ministry in the Congregation. This statement of commitment comes as we look forward to celebrating the 170th Anniversary of the Apparition of Our Lady of La Salette.
Responding to the appeal of Our Lady at La Salette, we affirm the ministry carried out in our Shrines as a core ministry of the Congregation, as it is central to our charism, identity and mission as La Salette Missionaries.
We seek to affirm the centrality of Shrines in the new evangelization of the people of God. We keep in mind the Biblical and Theological significance of Shrines as we respond to the growth in popular devotions and people’s desire to deepen their faith. We seek to provide sanctuaries of peace and hope for pilgrims by offering the sacraments of Reconciliation and Eucharist, support groups for bereavement and recovery, spiritual direction, pastoral counseling and various retreats.
We seek to minister to the people at the ‘peripheries’* and offer welcome to all. We recognize that our Shrines are havens of hope for the poor who benefit from our charitable outreach.
We recognize and affirm the call of Our Lady to witness to justice, peace and reconciliation in our Shrines. We commit ourselves to promote respect and care for the environment. We treat our employees and volunteers with justice, thereby embodying the message we preach.
We are called to witness to our consecrated life passionately and diligently. Recognizing Christ as our source of happiness, we live out our charism joyfully so as to draw others to Christ and to the Church. Shrines can be a source of new vocations to the consecrated life by this faithful living out of Gospel values and through the ministry we offer to youth. We commit ourselves to promoting vocations to religious life and the priesthood at our Shrines.
We affirm the Christo-centric dimension to the ministries of the Shrine. It is the Word of God that is “studied, meditated, preached, lived and witnessed to”* in our Shrines. There is a “Marian style”* of ministering at the Shrines, where we care for everyone with a sense of justice, tenderness and compassion. In this task we work together as a community and collaborate with La Salette Laity, who are drawn to our charism and share our spirituality and ministry. We open ourselves to the pastoral conversion that will make our shrines “field hospitals,”* where the wounded come to be welcomed, listened to, understood, affirmed, evangelized, converted, renewed and ‘sent forth’ to be messengers of hope, justice, peace and reconciliation. We recognize that we are wounded healers gifted with the ministry of reconciliation for the salvation of the human person. We seek to make our shrines ‘islands of mercy* and reconciliation’ for the Church.
We call the Provincial Administrations to support us in this renewed understanding and appreciation of our ministry. Together we can respond to the call Mary entrusted to us at La Salette. In her tender mercy may she, Star of Evangelization and Mother of Reconciliation, continue to guide us as we seek to remain faithful.

“It is your life that must speak,a life which radiates the joy and beauty
of living the Gospel and of following Christ”
(Pope Francis, Letter to Religious)
Dear Brothers,
Happy and Holy Easter to you all!
May the light of the Resurrection illumine the mind, the heart and the choices of each of you in this year dedicated to the Consecrated Life.
If Lent, which has just concluded, has spurred us to look within ourselves to discover the deep and lasting reasons for our human and religious stories, Easter places within us the certainty that God never comes short of his promises that a new life is still possible and “that God always continues to offer himself as guide for our journey.”
The Year of Consecrated Life which we are observing invites us to thank and praise the Lord for the gift of religious life and to make it a “memory of faith.” This gives us roots of continuity and perseverance: this is a powerful identity allowing us to see ourselves as part of a tale, a history. Letting faith reinterpret in the journey that has been made is not limited to the big events, but also helps us reinterpret our personal history, helpfully dividing it into episodes” and helping us to discover along the journey of our life, the footsteps of God mixed in with our own. (cf. Keep Watch!, 5, CICLSAL) .
Let us continue to allow ourselves to be formed by the Word of God and the urgency and necessity of always putting the Person of Christ at the center of our life. These two elements can truly “be a guarantee of authenticity and quality for the future of our lives as consecrated men and women” (cf. Keep Watch!, 7, CICLSAL).
Easter calls us to become joyful witnesses of the person of Christ and of his Resurrection, and to be courageous proclaimers of his Word. All this is part of the DNA of our La Salette spirituality which we normally sum up in one word: reconciliaton.
“A witness of the Gospel – Pope Francis reminds us – is one who has met Jesus Christ, who has known him, or even better, who is known by Him - recognized, respected, loved, forgiven - and this encounter has touched him deeply, has filled him with a new joy, a new meaning for his life. And this radiates, communicates, transmits itself to others” (cf. Keep Watch!, 9, CICLSAL; original citation, Pope Francis, Discourse to the Apostolic Movement for the Blind [MAC] and the Little Mission for Deaf-mutes, Rome, March 29, 2014).
Has the encounter with Christ truly changed - or is it now changing - my life and yours? Can we too really say that we have risen with Christ?
Let us live intensely the joy of Easter and let us not be robbed of it by anyone.
This coming December 8, with the opening of the Holy Doors of the Basilica of Saint Peter, will mark the beginning of an extraordinary jubilee year dedicated to mercy on the 50th anniversary of the closing of Vatican II. On March 13, Pope Francis accompanied the announcement of this event with these words: “thus the whole Church in this Jubilee Year can find the joy of rediscovering and making fruitful the mercy of God with which we have been called to give consolation to every man and woman of our time.”
We La Salette Missionaries must surely rejoice with the Pope who reminds us that mercy is the essence and the heart of the Gospel. To wed reconciliation and mercy, then, in our everyday ministry will be the mission of each of us and of our Congregation, something we will try hard to realize during this coming Holy Year.
May the Virgin of La Salette, Mother of reconciliation, accompany us in this year of Consecrated Life to rediscover the important reasons for being religious in the midst of the people of God and for belonging to this Congregation. At the same time may she help us prepare our hearts and minds to welcome as a special gift the Holy Year of Mercy and to live it in our communities and parishes in the light of the message left to us at La Salette..

In the parish Busk, in Ukraine, was held Way of the Cross for peace. There would be nothing unusual, if it were not participation of Greek Catholic priests, who are usually far from any common initiatives. Our brothers Lasaletters, work in five parishes in Ukraine. Busk is a city located near the city of Lviv. Parishes Nikopol, Zaporozhye and Krivoy Rog are located in the central Ukraine, about 250 km from the Donetsk region in which military conflict takes place.
