AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE HOLY SEE AND LOWER SAXONY
Vatican City, 8 May 2012 (VIS) - An Agreement was signed this morning at the
seat of government of Lower Saxony between the Holy See and that German
"Land", modifying the Concordat of 26 February 1965, according to a communique
released today by the
Holy See Press Office.
The Agreement was signed by Archbishop Jean-Claude Perisset, apostolic nuncio
to Germany, as plenipotentiary of the Holy See, and by David McAllister,
minster-president of Lower Saxony.
On the ecclesiastical side, the signing ceremony was attended by Bishop
Norbert Trelle of Hildesheim; by Msgr. Felix Bernhard, director of the
Catholic Office of Lower Saxony for the Land's relations with the dioceses of
Hildesheim, Munster (Oldenburg)
and Osnabruck, and by diocesan directors for Catholic schools regulated by the
Concordat. Among those present on the government side were the minister of
culture of Lower Saxony and a number of high-ranking cabinet functionaries.
The document signed today updates paragraph 6 of the Annex to the Concordat
and its relative implementation agreement (Durchführungsvereinbarung) in
the light of the current legislation of Lower Saxony, which has introduced the
definition of high
school. The modifications are intended to meet the needs of Catholic schools
regulated by the Concordat.

CHRISTIAN INITIATION, THEME OF THE TWELFTH EUROPEAN CONGRESS FOR CATECHISTS
Vatican City, 8 May 2012 (VIS) - The Council of European Episcopal Conferences
(CCEE) has organised the twelfth European Congress for Catechists, which is
being held in Rome from 7 to 10 May on the theme: "Christian Initiation from
the Perspective of
New Evangelisation". The event will dedicate particular attention to children
and young people between the ages of 7 and 16.
The meeting, which is being coordinated by the CCEE's commission for
catechesis, schools and universities, is being attended by bishops and by
national directors for catechesis from European episcopal conferences. It is
taking place with a view to
forthcoming Year of Faith, and in the context of Church reflections on new
evangelisation in the year marking the twentieth anniversary of the
Publication of the Catechism of the Catholic Church and the fiftieth
anniversary of the beginning of Vatican
Council II.
Work began yesterday with the presentation of the results of a survey of more
than 3,600 children and young people, which will serve as the basis for
discussion during the congress. The themes of the survey include: family,
friends school and their
influence on the Christian initiation of children; the Christian community, it
members and its liturgical life; and the importance of the children's personal
journey towards God.
On Wednesday 9 May, the participants will attend Mas at the Roman basilica of
St. Mary Major, celebrated by Cardinal Peter Erdo, archbishop of
Esztergom-Budapest, Hungary and president of the CCEE.
