European network for the Marist mission

The first meeting of all the councils of mission of Europe’s provinces took place from Jan. 23 – 24 in Valladolid, Spain.

The Mission team of the European Marist Conference (CEM) received from this Conference the task of thinking about a future organization of a European network for the Marist mission. 

The assembly of the European mission councils plays an important role in this new arrangement as it will be responsible for defining common lines of work in the field of the mission.

The first encounter was developed in a fraternal and respectful environment, with each one’s diversity and identity.

These two days have allowed the councils to get to know each other better and become aware of the specifics of each one of them.

The dynamics proposed by the animation team allowed us to outline the joint work to be done.

The ideas arising from the assembly will be taken up by the future mission council of Europe, made up of the heads of each provincial mission council, to establish plans of action to be carried out jointly at a regional level.

Brother João Carlos do Prado and Luca Olivari participated on behalf of the general administration.
