Parishes and places of worship

Our parishes must have a Calasanctian seal. The Piarist Christian Community and Fraternity will be strengthened in them, we will create children’s and youth centers in them and we will collaborate with particular commitment in the schools and educational works already existing; we will carefully organize the catechesis of children, young people and adults; and encourage any initiative that contributes to the education of children and youth, preferably poor, whether in schools themselves or any other type of organization. We will take care of the relationship between all our parishes and their network collaboration (Rule no. 148).

They are very favourable spaces for the development of the Christian community, where the emphasis is on liturgy, evangelisation processes, pastoral care and social action. In addition, Calasanctian spirituality should be promoted in all areas of pastoral work and in the development of educational programmes. The “Network of Piarist Parishes” is a good instrument for promoting Calasanctian identity.
