Assembly of the Province of Central America

Seventy brothers of the Province of Central America met in an “assembly-retreat” in Guatemala City from March 26 to 30. 

Their main goal was to continue the revision of the Constitutions and Statutes by addressing the five themes proposed in the “Stories of the Journey, told around the Fire.”

The brothers gathered from Cuba, Puerto Rico, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Guatemala and Colombia.

“The opportunity to share opinions in groups with brothers, who are similar in years of profession and in generations, and to deepen the visions we have of them were one of the aspects the Brothers valued the most,” said Brother Provincial Luis Carlos Gutiérrez.

“There were eight different groups and they worked well and in depth,” he added.

During the encounter, they celebrated the Jubilee of the brothers, the memory of the brothers who have passed away, and to give thanks for the 90th anniversary of the Champagnat School in Santa Tecla, El Salvador.

The brothers also recalled the 50th anniversary of the Marist School in Chinautla, Guatemala, and the tenth anniversary of the La Valla Interprovincial Novitiate in Medellín.
