Perpetual vows of Brother Alison Furlan
The service of vocational animation of the province developed a week of vocational activities in the city and the provincial community made a triduum of prayers.
Presided by Bishop Mario Marques, diocesan bishop, and assisted by the parents Paulo and Rudnei, the celebration took place in the parish community of San Antonio, in Ponte Serrada, the birthplace of Brother Alison.
The request to perpetual vows was strongly motivated by the experience and formation of four months in Cochabamba, Bolivia. For him, consecrated life is a constant walk, a life that includes searching, joys, encounters and experiences of God’s love. Being a Marist Brother is worth it!
Brother Bené Oliveira, provincial of Brazil Center-Sul, received the vows of Br Alison on behalf of the superior general. In his speech, he highlighted the gift of fraternity, as a special characteristic of the vocation of a religious Brother, as well as the happiness of giving himself to the mission, of being an apostle and educator of children and young people, of being a Marist Brother – brother of Mary : called by God, yes, but chosen by Mary and a beloved disciple of the heart of Saint Marcellin Champagnat!
