Today, we joyfully celebrate the 𝟏𝟗𝟓𝐭𝐡 𝐅𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐀𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐚𝐧𝐨𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐒𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲 (𝐂𝐚𝐧𝐨𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐅𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐬), founded in Venice on May 23, 1831.
For 195 years, the Canossian Fathers have faithfully carried the mission of making Jesus known and loved through education, evangelization, charity, and service to the poor and the young across the world.
As we honor this blessed milestone, we thank God for the lives and vocation of all Canossian Fathers whose dedication continues to inspire hope, compassion, and faith in countless communities.
May the spirit and charism of St. Magdalene of Canossa continue to guide the congregation in its mission of charity and service for generations to come.
Happy 195th Founding Anniversary, Canossian Fathers!!

Happy Priesthood Anniversary, Fr. Renato!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, TATAY NESTOR!
They say you can’t rush art, but you’ve managed to make 'getting better with age' look like a masterpiece. Keep dreaming, keep building, and keep being the most creative soul we know. We love you, Tatay Nestor!

Happy Happy Birthday Mamita de Jesus!

On this special day, we want to remind you that you don't need a mystical white stone to be a true champion. I see your strength, your compassion for others, and your tireless fight against the daily challenges of life—and to us, that is more powerful than any superpower.

It is with profound sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of a truly beautiful soul, Luigia Spinelli. 🤍🕊️

Luigia was the beloved and devoted wife of Franco Colnago. Together, they shared not only a lifetime of love but also a deep, unwavering faith that guided their every step and served as an inspiration to everyone who knew them. Their bond was a profound testament to Christian love, grace, and partnership.

Beyond her dedication to her family, Luigia was an esteemed and tireless collaborator of the Canossa-Tondo Children's Foundation, Inc., based in Paderno-Dugnano, Milan, Italy. Her boundless generosity, compassionate spirit, and dedication touched the lives of countless children and families. Driven by her profound faith, she poured her heart into serving those who needed it most, working quietly but leaving a massive impact on our community.

Today, we want to pause and express our most sincere gratitude for her life. Thank you, dear Luigia, for your kindness, your gentle wisdom, and the love you so freely shared with all of us. Your legacy of charity and faith will continue to live on in the countless lives you have uplifted.

Please keep Franco and all of Luigia’s loved ones in your thoughts and prayers during this incredibly difficult time. May God grant them comfort and strength.

May the Lord welcome her into His loving embrace. Rest in eternal peace, Luigia. You will be so deeply missed.

Today, our CTCFI Staff and Partners came together for an enriching CTCFI Professional Growth Seminar. We had the absolute privilege of diving into two deeply impactful topics:

“Caring for Others without Losing Yourself" — facilitated by the amazing Mr. Jabar Esmael.

“Soft Skills are your Super Powers" — expertly led by Ms. Tere Hizon

A very special and heartfelt thank you to Tita Vickie Vicente for your generous support in making this seminar a reality! We couldn't have done it without you. 🙏💙

We are leaving today feeling recharged, equipped with new superpowers, and ready to continue serving others while taking care of ourselves! 💪
