Marist Province ?Brasil Centro-Sul?

From 4 to 6 November the last stage of the « Marist Hermitage » took place. Already in its third year of realisation, this course is aimed at providing lay people with knowledge of the historical, social, political and religious context of Champagnat?s time; of Marist spirituality; of the structuring and legislation of the Institute, and on the life and work of Marcellin Champagnat.

This group was marked in a special way by the presence of six affiliated members of our Province: Gervásio Oecksler; Gessi Damiani; Laidi Badin; Márcia dos Santos; Mirian Gross and Rosa Prochnow. Each of them brought to the group a beautiful contribution of sharing and exchanging experiences.

We hope all the students of the « Hermitage 2009 » course draw the maximum profit from their formation. May the experience lived bear much fruit.
