TO KNOW AND TO UNDERSTAND MARCELIN, SO THAT WE MAY LOVE HIM

Cepam has organized recently two courses whose aim was to give to the participants the possibility of knowing and understanding better Marcelin?s personality and, at the same time, to help them to be enthusiastic animators when they will be back in their own provinces and fully engaged in the apostolic ministries.
The first course is called ?Cycle A?. It took place from 10 to 30 July and ten brothers, six from Brazil, three from Mexico and one from Argentina (see the picture) have participated in it. The number of brothers participating in such initiatives is always reduced, so as to have a better family atmosphere and a more serious possibility of work. Following this method we want to set up a way that helps the participants not only to ?study? Marcelin, but to ?live? him.
The second course was organized for a group of nine Marist Sisters coming from eight different countries. From 2 to 6 Augustt they have deepen Father Champagnat figure in relationship with the Society of Mary.
