Brother Ángel Medina

Brother Ángel Medina began his new role on Sept. 1 as assistant director of the Brothers Today Secretariat, which he is combining with his role as formator of the Lavalla200> communities.

“I felt I was placed in two close realities, though different, so it was a challenge of figuring out how to combine the adequate attention in each area,” Br Ángel told the department of communications of the general house on Sept. 17.

“But this is an opportunity for me to learn, to be available beyond the specific areas,” he continued. “It (having these two roles) is a small expression of walking together as a global family and being bridges.”

Originally from Spain and member of the Cruz del Sur Province, Br Ángel served in El Escorial, Spain, as director of the courses of permanent formation for Spanish and Portuguese speaking brothers until 2016.

He then came to the general house in Rome to work with Br Jeff Crowe as formator of the Lavalla200> communities.
Since September, he is also working with Br Tony Leon in the Brothers Today Secretariat, where he will work specifically as the coordinator of the permanent formation team.

Brother Ángel replaced Brother Hipólito Pérez, who held the position until he was elected provincial of América Central at the end of 2017.
