Dare to Dream!
“Dare to dream” is the motto that will gather us at the 2016 International Marist Youth Meeting (IMYM) in Lyon, France, on the occasion of the 200th foundation anniversary of the Marist Brothers Institute and the promise of Fourvière, in connection with WYD 2016 in Cracow, Poland.
From July 17 to 23, 400 young representatives from the four branches of the Marist Family will meet in Marcellin Champagnat’s homeland to live an experience of brotherhood/sisterhood with an international, intercongregational, and intercultural family spirit, which will help them define their life project as young Marists who live with Mary’s attitudes in their heart.
We will launch the IMYM in April 2015 with the publication of the participation guidelines for each of the four Marist branches. There will also be a webpage of the meeting. The formation proposal that will help prepare this experience at the local level will be available for download in October 2015. The participation of as many youth groups as possible in this preliminary process is very important.
