International Archives Week 2019
To commemorate the celebration of International Archives Week 2019 Archives International Week 2019 we inform that we have digitized new materials.
In the course of a consultation we have spotted some tapes in 8mm format. They showed a poor state of conservation and we decided to digitize this part of our collection.
The result was these two videos of 42 ‘and 2’07.
They seem to be images from Guinea with the presence of Fr. Tomàs Lluís Pujadas (Sabadell, May 26, 1904 – Vic November 12, 1994), cmf. Fr. Pujades, however, was in Guinea and Panama, so we have doubts about the images. It must be said that in Panama there are also important Afro-American groups. (more…)

New digitized materials
We are offering you, in a digital version, two new important works to know better Fr. Claret. The first, are his Spiritual Writings published in the Library of Christian Authors (BAC), in Madrid in 1985.
The author was a close friend of Fr. Claret, Fr. Francisco de Asís Aguilar, who would later be consecrated bishop of Astorga.
It is a biography of great historical value due to the closeness to the events occurred; in addition, it offers at the end, a series of testimonies from people who had known and had dealt directly with the Holy Missionary. (more…)
Claret in my life…
First of all, I must say that unlike and far from Claret, it seems that I do not find time to write these lines suggested by my Claretian brothers after my stay in Vic last year, where I was so well treated, just like by the brothers of Barcelona.
Last year I went to those places that are so significant (more…)

“Since God decided to become man, he fixed his sight on Mary Most Holy and from then on he arranged all the necessary preparations: made her to be born of the patriarchs, prophets, priests and kings, and all the graces of these are brought together in Mary, wishing that she be the flower and cream of them all. Besides, he provided her with blessings of sweetness and put on her head a crown of precious stones, that is, of graces and beauty but, much more, he enriched her heart.”
(Letter to a devotee of the Heart of Mary, in EC II, p. 1499).
MARY FULL OF GRACE (more…)
Fr. Josep Rovira, cmf, member of the CESC, explains how young Anthony Claret lived situations that led him to rethink the meaning of his life and give a radical vocational response. We pray that the celebration of World Youth Day may become an opportunity for many young people to deepen their experience of encountering Christ and dare to follow and announce him.
