   PAPAL TELEGRAM FOR NEW SEMINARY BUILDING IN CUBA   
      
   VATICAN CITY, 4 NOV 2010 (VIS) - Made public today was a message sent in the   
   Pope's name by Cardinal Secretary of State Tarcisio Bertone S.D.B. to Cardinal   
   Jaime Lucas Ortega y Alamino, archbishop of San Cristobal de La Habana, Cuba,   
   for the opening a new headquarters of the archdiocesan seminary of St. Charles   
   and St. Ambrose.   
      
   In the text the Holy Father expresses the hope that the new inauguration may   
   be, "at one and the same time, a sign and a stimulus for a renewed commitment   
   to strive for the careful human, spiritual and academic preparation of the   
   those who, in that institution, ready themselves for the priestly ministry".   
      
   The Pope invites the seminarians "increasingly to identify themselves with the   
   sentiments of Christ the Good Shepherd, through assiduous prayer, serious   
   dedication to study, humbly listening to the divine word, dignified celebration   
   of the Sacraments, and courageous witness of His love as authentic disciples   
   and missionaries of the Gospel of salvation".   
      
   The Holy Father "entrusts the entire community of this educational institution   
   to the protection of the Blessed Virgin Mary who, with the title of Our Lady of   
   Charity, is fervently invoked by the beloved nation of Cuba".
