Network visit to the United States and Cuba

26-09-2025

Since September 18, a delegation from the Network's Executive Committee has been visiting Piarist presences in the United States and Cuba. The aim is to deepen the shared journey begun a few years ago by the Province of USA-PR and the Itaka-Escolapios Network, growing in mutual understanding and collaboration between the two. The Provincial Superior and those responsible for the development office are also participating in this program.

The first part of the itinerary has taken place in the northernmost presences: Annunciation Parish (Harlem, New York), Devon Preparatory School (Devon, Pennsylvania), and St. Helena Parish and School (Bronx, New York). In these places, there have been various meetings to learn about the realities of the mission and to present Itaka-Escolapios. The tour will then continue to the Piarist works in Kentucky and Florida, concluding in Cuba.

Without a doubt, this is a great opportunity to continue building our network and take new steps in the mission we share.
