The National Director of the PMS, Fr.

The National Director also announced that the Pontifical Society of Missionary Childhood and Adolescence in 2013 will celebrate its 170 years, "so for us - he said - as well as it being a great joy, it is also the time to thank God for everything that the Lord Jesus has done in the history of the Church through the missionary life of many children and adolescents. At the same time it will be a moment to review and evaluate our service, and project into the future the new lines of action. For us today, as in 1843 was for Mgr. De Forbin-Janson, children and adolescents are a treasure in the Church, a true potential, capable of transforming reality through a 'network of human and spiritual solidarity', as Pope John Paul II loved saying , referring to the IAM".
