Don Orione our Founder and the Constitution of the Little
Work of Divine Providence (Sons of Divine Providence) at its Art. 39. say, “The
parents of our religious are considered part of our religious family. Following
the example and exhortations of our Founder, we foster lively gratitude towards
them, our principal benefactors. We welcome them into our houses with
cordiality.” What is said of religious could be said of the parents of our
students. They are the first formators and benefactors of their children. They
play a very important role in their formation and discernment process.
