International Gathering of Marist Youth
We are in process of living a special period, as much for the Church – preparation for the coming of Jesus among us – as for the Institute – preparation for the International Marist Youth Meeting (| CHANGE). And you, Brother, young person, or lay Marist, you are invited to prepare your heart, like Mary who is expecting the coming of her son Jesus.
The enrollment process for the « IMYM 2013 | CHANGE », the Missionary Week (prior to WYD) and the World Youth Day (WYD) RIO 2013 is already under way. It is important to follow the guidelines given in the letter sent to the Provincials.

Enrollments for the « IMYM 2013 | CHANGE » and the WYD for the pilgrims staying at the « Colegio Marista San José » – Tijuca, have been extended to 28/02/2013. This will allow the Provinces more time for getting organized. We remind you that the costs for the « IMYM 2013 | CHANGE » and accomodation for the WYD at the « Colegio Marista San José » remain unchanged. As indicated on the WYD site, enrollments made after 31 January will be increased by 5%. The enrollment of Marist pilgrims should be made through the site www.2013change.org
Remember that the enrollment of Marist pilgrims for the WYD is made by the Organizing Commission of « IMYM | CHANGE ».
As soon as enrollments have been made, the Marist pilgrims who are getting ready to take part in the Missionary Week (from 16 to 21/07/2013) should contact the respective Provinces in Brasil. The cities hosting the Marist pilgrims are: Belo Horizonte (MG), Curitiba (PR) and Porto Alegre (RS).
Let us go forward with Mary and Champagnat. As Marists, let us have a change of heart for the coming of the Prince of Peace.
