The Marist Leadership course begins in the Province of Nigeria
The Prophetic and Servant Leadership Course for leaders of the Province of Nigeria began on April 2 with an online event. The inauguration was attended by brothers Luis Carlos Gutiérrez, Vicar General, Ben Consigli, general councillor, and Mark Omede, Provincial. Around 20 participants take the course that proposes 11 topics developed virtually; and an in-person session from June 24 to 28.
The course has two fundamental objectives:
