Assembly of the Brothers in Bilbao
Spain: Opening of the Chapter of the Province of Nuestra Señora del Pilar
On December 27th, the Chapter of the Province of Nuestra Señora del Pilar in Spain was opened. The Meeting, which took place in the Community of Berrio-Otxoa (Bilbao), was led by Brother Carlos Capellán, Provincial Superior. That Meeting was attended by the Brothers as well as by Lay Associates and other Lay people of the Province.
That Meeting provided an opportunity to explain the Working Document, as well as the Future Meetings that would take place throughout 2025 and the Closing of the Provincial Chapter which would be held between December 26th and 30th, 2025.
The Brother Provincial invited all the Communities, as well as all the Lay People of the Mennaisian Family as well as the Members of the Educational Communities to participate in that New Chapter, to “Look Beyond” (slogan of the Chapter).

Cono Sur: Bialet Massé: Annual Retreat of the Mennaisian Family
The Retreat was Preached by Father Juan Pablo Roldán, Redemptorist Missionary, in line with the Jubilee Year of Hope. He invited us to live as Men Capable of Blessing and a Community of Hope and Joy.
Another strong Invitation was the call relayed by the Slogan of the Year 2025 “A Meeting that Transforms”
As was Customary in the District, Lay people of the Mennaisian Family were able to experience the Retreat in Person and others to experience it Virtually.
After the Retreat, the Brothers held their Annual Assembly, particularly focused on the Next District Chapter. It was also a time for Walking and Conviviality.
