Marists ? Marianists ? De La Salle

It is a joy to share with you the experience we are carrying about for the last few years in the central House of the Marist District of West Africa.

Since three years ago, a group of young Marianists from the French-speaking countries of the region started coming to our house during the long holidays period with the purpose of improving the English language. This year three Brothers of the Christian schools have joined the group with the same objective.

We form all together a life-shared community: lodging, food, prayers. Presently we are 13 Brothers from 8 different nationalities. Above all, the bond that unites us is our common brotherhood. Living together is for us a chance to know better one another and to share so many things we have in common.

This is just a drop among so many gestures of collaboration among our Congregations, but I thought it would be good to let you know. The attached picture, although not all of us are on it, reflects what I have just expressed.

Fraternally yours

Brother José María Ferre – Community Superior
