Pilgrimage to the Hermitage

At the initiative of the Marist Province of « Brasil Centro-Sul », a pilgrimage took place from 8 to 22 October to the Marist places of the Institute in France. The group, composed of 27 participants, was formed by brothers, affiliated members and lay Marists, most of them former students of the course on Marist Spiritual Patrimony, which the Province has been running for the last five years. The « pilgrims » had the favour of spending five days at the Hermitage, three in Rome and four in Paris. The final evaluation emphasized gratitude for the grace of the pilgrimage and expressed a feeling of great admiration and enthusiasm for the charismatic personality of Saint Marcellin Champagnat.
