Moment of Mennaisian Fraternity between the Mennaisian Family of France and Polynesia
On October 21st and 22nd, 2024, the Heads of Schools and their Deputies from the 76 Schools, Colleges and High Schools of the St-Jean-Baptiste Province met at the Abbey of St-Jacut de la Mer, near St-Malo, for two days of Training on the Mennaisian Experience seen as the Act of Developing, Discerning and implementing together an Educational Project inspired by the Charism transmitted by the Brothers.

It was an opportunity for them to celebrate the Eucharist in the Cathedral of St-Malo, so important in the hearts of the Mennaisians, and to enter the heart of the College of St-Malo, the place where Jean-Marie de la Mennais experienced the educational act of teaching and training young people eager to commit themselves to the service of the evangelization of their contemporaries.

From October 29th to November 6th , the Mother House was pleased to welcome fifteen Polynesian Lay People and Brothers, members of the educational teams of La Mennais College in Papeete and St-Joseph College in Taravao.

This stay allowed them to stay at the Mother House and to be touched, thus, by the message that it can bring to each one in order to nourish his life and his mission with the young people. A strong moment was the prayer that they made with the Brothers of the Mother House, at the cemetery of the latter, on All Saints’ Day, in favor of the former missionaries who brought to Polynesia the fire of the Mennaisian charism.

They had wonderful meetings with the educational teams of Malestroit and Ploërmel. They were able to have an exchange with some lay people and brothers of the Province of St-Jean-Baptiste. Unforgettable meetings that make you want, on your return, to invite others to have the same experience.
