Retreat of the Province of Brasil Centro-Norte

About eighty Marist Brothers gathered in Belo Horizonte from December 18 to 24 to reflect on what it means to be a Marist Brother and how to continue confidently and perseveringly in the mission of being faithful to the precepts of Saint Marcellin Champagnat.

The retreat was animated by Brother Óscar Martín Vicario, General Councilor link for the “América Sur” Region, with the theme “Living passionately our being Marist today”.

During the retreat two events stood out: the official opening of a new Marist community in Januária, state of Minas Gerais, and the perpetual profession of Brother Leonardo Stoch, who on December 23rd definitively embraced consecrated life as a Marist Brother.
