Provincial meeting of evangelisers

The Marist family of the Province of Rio do Sul has taken a step forward.
From the 21st to the 24th October, the first Provincial Meeting of Marist Evangelisers took place at Recanto Medianeira, Veranópolis.
Prepared and co-ordinated by the Director of Mission, the meeting had as its objectives to create a time for reflection and study on basic themes such as ?a faith that can move mountains? and ?the principles of evangelising action of the Brazilian Church and the Marist Institute?, and to encourage the exchange of suggestions and animation plans for evangelisation so that our pastoral work may always be more effective in our Marist works.

Eighty-six participants took part in the meeting and, thanks to times of prayer and relaxation, they were able to develop what one could call ?a great group of evangelisers in the Marist Province of Rio Grande do Sul.?
The Superior General?s message of promoting the Revolution of the heart stirred each of the representatives from the colleges, institutions and other Provincial organisations. The meeting gave us an experience of deepening our understanding of the Marist style of evangelising and different ways of animating it.
