Bishop Luciano Capelli SDB August Message
Dear Gizo Diocese collaborators, benefactors, people of God,
In my last message I only remember the most important things, I forget all the rest
What is the most important message I can leave you after these 24 years in the Solomons and 16 years in Gizo?
I came to Gizo right after the earthquake and tsunami of 2007 and I could notice the hardships you endured having been so affected... I saw the sadness in your eyes for being victims of such a great disaster. It was easy for me to look for a motto for my episcopacy. I saw my mission as one of ‘encouraging’, inspiring’ supporting you in your sufferings. “Lift up your hearts”... If I could only help you to ‘lift up your hearts’ you would have managed your sad situation in a better way and it would be a big joy for me and my mission as your shepherd. No one can help people to lift up their hearts if he/she himself/herself is downhearted. The faithful of the Gizo Diocese needed to stand up around a specific mission first individually and then together in communion.
To lift up the heart of others we need “courage” and “enthusiasm” in our personal life. The word “courage” comes from the Latin word “cor”, the heart, the center of passion for life, and the word “enthusiasm” comes from the Greek “En Theos” (with God) the motivating force of grace which supports all courage and all pastoral action.
From + Luciano Capelli, sdb
For you a Bishop (for 16 years), with you a brother who loves you with a ‘solo’ heart made in Italy.

We sisters had our annual retreat in Gizo, at the Diocesan Retreat Centre called Betania, on the Gizo hills. Our two communities (from Henderson and Gizo, with also one sister of La Pieta’Congregation, based at Tetere Clinic) joined together to have one week of prayer and meditation on the Pope Francis last encyclical “Fratelli tutti” (“we are all brothers and sisters”). Fr Fhil Duaban was the preacher; he is a diocesan priest from the Philippines, but is almost five years that he is a missionary in the Diocese of Gizo.
