A century of life and love for his neighbour

On September 5, the Province of Brasil-Centro-Sul celebrated a very special event: the centenary of the birth of Brother Alfredo Moretti. Alfredo was congratulated and thanked for being an example of dedication to the Marist charism for all the brothers, lay people and Marist volunteers.

Those who know Brother Alfredo Moretti emphasize the joy and simplicity as the characteristics of his personality, both in his personal life and in the development of his mission, from the very beginning, when he entered the Institute of the Marist Brothers in September 1933.

To pay tribute to this century of life full of love and meaning, some 80 people – among friends and relatives of the Brother – gathered on 8 September at the Champagnat Marist Centre in Curitiba to celebrate and have lunch together in camaraderie.
