Walking the paths of Champagnat

This year, as the group celebrated the 40th anniversary of its creation (1979), 26 members wanted to make a pilgrimage to the Hermitage and the Marist places to know better the life and work of Father Champagnat. In the company of Brother Benito Arbués, former Superior General, the participants had the opportunity to live some unforgettable experiences, coinciding the central day with June 6.

The group is made up of about 60 members (plus about 25 women, the wives of as many companions). They are all linked in different ways to the Marist work, mainly because they have passed through the Hispanic-American Juniorate in Valladolid, Spain, hence its name.

It was a Juniorate with the goal to form Marists to go to some countries of Latin America.

It has been unanimous the participants of the Pilgrimage the feeling of satisfaction and gratitude for being so cordially welcomed by the Brothers in the house of Father Champagnat, in Rosey and in La Valla.
