Thanksgiving for the 40 years of the Mennaisian presence in Culiprán.
It was also a moment to give thanks for the First Brothers who arrived in this Land of the Culiprán Valley, Brother Joaquín Blanco, Brother Dámaso Cereceda and Brother José Antonio Vivas. It was a Thanksgiving given with the Heart and with the Challenge of following in the Footsteps of Juan María de la Mennais, whom they taught us with their word and example.
