FIRST VOWS IN CHILE. Two young men committed themselves

Legend : The Brothers Joaquin, Walter, Daniel and Carlos.

At the end of one year of novitiate, the Brothers Walter and Daniel pronounced their first vows on February 18th of this year at Quinta Normal, in Santiago of Chile. Surrounded with their families, their formators, Brothers and parishioners, they committed themselves in religious life by expressing their desire to follow the Christ as Brothers of the Christian Instruction.

Lors de la célébration des premiers vœux.

“It is with a great pleasure that we celebrated the religious profession and the first vows of poverty, chastity and obedience of the Brothers Walter Muñoz y Daniel Astudillo in the parish San Jose of Garin, municipality of Quinta Normal, Santiago, Chile. We give thanks to God for his blessing. We thank their families for their generosity and their support in this vocation.

We thank Brothers Carlos and Joaquin for having accompanied them throughout their formation. We thank the parochial community of San Jose of Garín for their support. We thank the Brothers for welcoming the two Brothers with joy and great pleasure and for accepting the challenge to feel brothers from each other.

The project of brotherhood that Jesus came to propose us more than two thousand years ago, is always relevant. We brothers, we are called to be builders of brotherhood within our communities and at the service of children and young people, especially of the smallest and of the poorest.

May other young people decide to follow the Christ as Mennaisian Brothers at the service of children and young people in education and Christian education.”
