Summer Activities in Compostela Province
After two difficult years full of uncertainty, normality is gradually returning to the activities of the Marist Province of Compostela: from Perbes to Vouzela, passing through Tui, Salamanca, Valladolid or Leon, and flying to the Hermitage with the older children.…
In this transition to normality, the provincial team has been able to offer activities for participants between 15 and 24 years old. About 200 adolescents, accompanied by 50 volunteers and Brothers, have been distributed for the school stages in different camps throughout the provinces. Regarding the university students, 90 young people accompanied by 25 volunteers and 7 Brothers have been distributed in different experiences of volunteering, growth, and discernment. In total, nearly 300 participants, almost 80 volunteers, and 15 Brothers were able to enjoy some of the 13 activities offered this summer.
In the school stages (Adventure, 14-16 years old; Camino, 16-18 years old), the teenagers were able to enjoy a few days of gathering and sharing moments and experiences as a group.
For their part, the young university students of the Province have enjoyed very diverse experiences that are part of their growth itinerary. The young people of Fuente (18-22 years of age) have had two types of activities. The first-year students participated in experiences of service and community in which, through community living and volunteering, they discovered that there is another way of living fraternity and that the look of compassion is possible and healing. For the rest, we have offered, to avail oneself of their vital moment, a meeting in which to reread their personal history and to be able to discern and take some steps in their vocation and life project.
Lastly, the young people of the Horizon stage (22-24 years of age) also had two experiences: some made a silent retreat in which they continued to discover the God of Love who resides in the depths of each one, and the older ones traveled to the Hermitage to complete a stage in which they came into contact with their roots and those of Marcellin Champagnat.
