International Commission on Marist Spiritual Patrimony

The International Commission on Marist Spiritual Patrimony held its last meeting of this year, 2021, on 25 October. Once again, it was held virtually and lasted two hours. As always, it was supported by the Secretariat of Brothers Today and the translator, Brother Teófilo Minga. All the members were present except Br. Guillermo Villareal, who had another commitment.

The Commission continued with the organisation of the 40th issue of Marist Notebooks and thanked the various contributors for the publication. Once the texts have been finalised, they will be translated. Dyogenes Philippsen reported on the progress made and on the measures that are being taken to ensure a better diffusion of this publication by the Institute and its valuation as a scientific reference.

Br. André Lanfrey provided information on publications in the FMS Studia series.

The project on a future Heritage Course for the Institute was the main topic of the next meeting.

The group planned a calendar of meetings for the year 2022. The first virtual meeting will be on 27 January and the second on 6 April. A face-to-face meeting in Rome was scheduled for the week of 20-24 June, as was usual before the pandemic.
