A few days ago, we inserted news item no. 3,000 on our site, counting from 16 April 2004, when the second version of the champagnat.org  site was inaugurated. It is a good moment to draw up a balance and establish new goals.

During this period, we published an average of 0.86 news items a day. Since last year, the average has already passed one item per day, and each item is read by an average of 3,093 persons.

Another curiosity is linked to the origin of the news items. According to the data of 28 October, most come from the General House (686), followed by Brasil (369), Spain (317), Mexico (121), Australia (110) and France (104).

From the point of view of the Administrative Units, « L’Hermitage » has contributed 168 items, « Mediterránea » 150, « América Central » 135, « East Asia » 123, « Brasil Centro-Sul » 109, « Australia » 106 and « Norandina » 94. If the origin is considered in terms of geographical region, Europe appears in first place, with 1,352 items. Then South America (607), Asia (248), North America (242), Africa (236), Central America (155), Oceania (139) and the Middle East (30). There is a page where one may consult the complete statistical details of the items published.

All the news items published on thesite are available and, considered together, are an excellent aid for showing the dynamic life and history of the charism of Marcellin Champagnat.

The site is an open space which the Institute makes available to make known the activities which give concrete form to Marcellin Champagnat’s project.
