Provincial Marist Mission Assembly
Nearly one hundred people, brothers and laypeople, gathered at Notre Dame de l?Hermitage for the Provincial Assembly. This assembly was composed of participants having come from different countries composing the Province: Algeria, Catalonia (Spain), France, Greece, Hungary, Switzerland. Each country presented the different activities of its Administrative Unit through a power point display.
In the evening, a Mass presided over by the new bishop of Saint Etienne, Dominique Lebrun, brought together in La Valla all the participants and the villagers, having come to mark the 190th anniversary of the foundation of the Institute in this small village of Mont Pilat.
It was a celebration marked by simplicity as was Marcellin?s foundation. The call to continue what he had started was the aim of our Assembly. To reflect how to live the heart of this passion that animated him and continue the mission adapted to the world of today. That is our challenge!
