Solidarity with the victims of the plane crash

After a plane crashed in Colombia on Nov. 28 killing 71 people, it has been revealed that some of them were parents or grandparents of 15 Marist students.

Many of them were from the city of Chapecó, Santa Catarina, linked to the Chapecoense Football Association. 

Nine of the people who passed away had children or grandchildren in the Marist school San Francisco, in the province of Brazil Centro-Sul.

In a note published on the same day, provincial superior Brother Joaquim Sperandio asked “that St Marcellin and our Good Mother console and give strength to the families and friends in this moment of pain.”
