Read more about the Colloquium

The day began with Morning Prayer and then Brother Hipólito Pérez Gómaz introducing the tasks that each of the 7 work groups would concentrate on until lunchtime. The groups worked with the synthesis of Saturday’s results and each made 3 specific Convictions, Orientations and Recommendations around the 7 topics of Formation (processes and structures), Joint Brother and Lay Formation, Internationality/Global Avalability, Communities, Vocation Ministry, Formators, and Brothers for a New Beginning.

Brother Victor Preciado led a Marian Prayer to begin the afternoon work session.

Brother Juan Carlos Fuertes divided the participants into another set of work groups to analyze the collated results from the morning sessions in preparation for Tuesday final day of work.

After today’s liturgy and supper a festive and rich Cultural night was offered from the Asia and Oceana Regions.
