The Marist Youth Ministry of Cruz del Sur meets to deepen its Marist identity

80 young Marists from Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay, countries that make up the Province of Cruz del Sur, met in Luján, Argentina, to participate in the III edition of the meeting organized by the Marist Youth Ministry (MYM), from May 3 to 5. With the theme “To the same beat”, the MYM of the Province once again called together all its coordinating agents and advisors and incorporated for the first time the young animators.

During the meeting, the MYM agents, coming from 24 Educational Centers of the province, participated in common dynamics and others in which the roles were separated to focus on their specificity: the coordinators and advisors had their own times and there were also exclusive meetings for the animators. Among games, reflective moments and music, the participants deepened their Marist identity, their mission, and shared the sense of belonging to a Provincial community.

Four workshops were held which allowed the young people to deepen their understanding of Marist spirituality and interiority and to approach the construction of an experience of solidarity. They were also able to begin to plan a long-term youth ministry proposal (one or two years) and to design a PJ meeting with the experiential formative method.

On the last day, all that was explored was shared and proposed to all the participants to anchor it locally, in the life of each educational center.
