The Marist Union of Brasil, known as UMBRASIL, celebrated its twelfth ordinary general assembly on Feb. 18 – 19.
 
During the event, the new members of the organisation’s management team took up office and approved the projects for 2016.
 
Brother Joaquim Esperandio, the new president of the Council, spoke about the Marist spirit that prevails in Brazil and appealed for it to increase among Marists.
 
“We are living in an environment of unity and openness of heart,” stated Br Joaquim. “It would be really good that that would increasingly intensify among us.”
 
“We need to walk together, integrated and thinking about what is best for the Marist Brazil,” he added.
