Joint Celebration of Marist Fathers and Brothers
On the day of the Annunciation, March 25, the Marists of Leon, Spain, celebrated together the Bicentenary of the Marist Brothers.
The three communities of Leon and the Marist Fathers that reside in Leon, 29 Brothers and four Marist Fathers, gathered in Champagnat to celebrate 200 years of the Marist Institute.
Marist Father Ramón Fernández presided the Eucharistic celebration, during which he made many references to the Marist Bicentenary, to the feast of the Annuncation and to the Pro Life day that was celebrated in Spain.
A meal, which marked the conclusion of the event, served to dialogue about what was previously lived and for participants to comment on Marist issues.
