A Dehonian Historical & Spiritual CalendarDuring the Dehonian Year, which began on February 14, 2002, and will end on the Feast of the Sacred Heart in 2003, marking the 125th anniversary of the Priests of the Sacred Heart, Egidio Driedonkx (CI) will be publishing a weekly Dehonian Historical and Spiritual Calendar for use of the Rome I & II Communities. He has graciously offered it to our web readers as well.Please be aware that due to the length of this project we will only be able to post it in the original language, Spanish, with quotes from Fr. Dehon in French. Naturally, if there are some kind souls out there willing to translate this work into one or more of our five languages we will be happy to post their translation work to our site to broaden the use of this text.
The starting date for this work is March 14, 2002. Therefore we are posting the first two weeks at this time covering the period March 14 -27, 2002. We will also have a 'link' page posted to the Letters & Documents section for easy reference to this calendar.
