The newsletter "INSIEME" (our bulletin connecting all Italian Faith and Light groups) will be published every two months.

We welcome contributions from everyone—articles, letters, drawings, news, and reports from your group's life.

We also need the names and addresses of people (full name, address, postal code, telephone, printed clearly) who might be interested in receiving "INSIEME" or supporting it financially.

Finally, we ask for donations to help cover the costs of the newsletter and the Secretariat.

Thank you in advance, and we wish you all

A blessed Christmas and a happy New Year!
