    • 22nd General Chapter

      Our Constitutions and Statutes tell us that 'the General Chapter is an assembly representative of the whole Institute. It is an expression of the participation of all the Brothers in the life and mission of the Institute, as well as their coresponsibility in its government. It exercises the highest extraordinary authority'

Phrases from the participants

Venceslas  Baindekeli

My dream for the Institute's future is to see Brothers growing in number where it is possible. This means we need to find new ways of attracting young ones and good testimonies as religious people.

Venceslas Baindekeli
Ernesto  Sánchez

Marists with hearts that beat to the rhythm of God: more human, more fraternal, more passionate to serve those who need it most.

Ernesto Sánchez
Juan Carlos  Fuertes

An intense experience of Marist life that will help us to live a new beginning in the Institute.
