Br João Paulo Aranhaga Vargas

Br João Paulo Aranhaga Vargas, of the Brasil Sul-Amazônia Province, made his final consecration to the Institute on Feb. 14 in Tabatinga, Amazonas, in the Saint Marcellin Champagnat Community.

The celebration was presided by the Bishop of the Diocese Alto Solimões, Don Adolfo Zon Pereira (Xaverian Missionary).

The superior provincial, Br. Inácio Nestor Etges, received the vows on behalf of the superior general.

Through the celebration, Br. João gave a Marial yes that inspires him to permanently live consecrated religious life within the Institute of the Marist Brothers. 

Br João will continue his work in catechesis and youth ministry, as he has done until now, in Porto Velho.
