Kessel-Lo

On this 27 August, five Brothers celebrated 70 years of religious life as Marists and four celebrated 60 years. Eight of them have been missionaries in D.R. Congo which is celebrating the centenary of the Marist presence this 28.

This was a Magnificat day and the celebrants renewed their vows to offer their lives for the good of the Kingdom of God and of the Marist mission. Their wish is that many more Brothers will persevere in fidelity and celebrate 25, 50, 60, 70, 80 years of religious life in the coming years. They kept repeating that no one should disqualify himself when it comes to following Jesus in his mission, since as weak and limited as they are, God has used them to do marvelous things.
