ARGENTINA: Bialet-Massé: Chapter of the District Divina Providencia

The Chapter had two moments: from 9th to 11th April 2025, the Mennaisian Family Assembly with Lay People from all places where there was a Community of Brothers in the Four Countries; then from 12th to 13th April, the Chapter of the Brothers. Brother Miguel Aristondo, Assistant General, represented the Superior General in that District Chapter.

“During those days, we had the Grace to live a time of Sharing and Life as Mennaisian Family throughout the Chapter of the District of Divina Providencia. A Fraternal Meeting that would mark the path to be followed in the Next Six Years for the Four Countries that make up Our District: Argentina, Uruguay, Chile and Bolivia.

 

The Brothers of the District Divina Providencia

Those were days full of Life, Prayer, Reflection and Listening. Intense days during which we worked in depth on each of the Documents. Those would help us to make Our Works even more spaces where Children and Young People could meet Jesus and live His Gospel.

That Process has not begun in Bialet-Massé. For several Months, each Community has made its contribution, the result of Daily Work and Shared Discernment. Those contributions have been the basis and heart of what we have built together throughout those days.

 We have organized ourselves into Commissions, composed of Members from each of the Ten Educational and Pastoral Works and Centres that make up Our District. In each of them we were able to practice the Conversation in the Spirit, a mode of deep and Community Listening, so important in Our Spirituality.

Important Themes were: Mennaisian Family, Youth, Vocational Pastoral, Educational Mission, Fraternity and Prayer.”

It was now that everything began! No! … continued!… as Pilgrims of Hope
