Formation Programme for the Post-Novitiate Brothers of the South American Region
The formative journey of the Post-Novitiate brothers of the South American Region began in Curitiba, Brazil on January 6, the feast of the Epiphany. This is a three-week formation course which aims to promote a more systematic accompaniment of the young brothers in formation after the novitiate.
The group is composed of twelve Brothers from the five Provinces making up the Region: AntĂ´nio Rai (Brazil Sul-AmazĂ´nia); Carlos Alexandre, Carlos Euripedes, Clebio Perreira, Danilson Silva, Leonardo Stock, Julianderson Silva, JosĂ© Sotero and JosĂ© Valter (Brazil Centro-Norte); Guillermo Rivera (Santa MarĂa de los Andes); Pablo Rifarachi and Victor Carrasco (Cruz del Sur).
On their journey they are accompanied by Brothers CĂ©sar (Cruz del Sur), JoĂlson (Brasil Centro-Norte), Otalivio (Brasil Centro-Sul) and Vitor (Brasil Centro-Norte), a team co-ordinated by Brother Alberto Aparicio, Regional Executive Director.
At different times during the journey, the young Marists will be assisted by various advisors and accompaniers, including the Provincials of the region as well as General Councillors Ă“scar MartĂn and Sylvain.
