The Marist Brothers and the Marist World are rejoicing in the election of Brother Ernesto Sanchez Barba, a native of Guadalajara, Mexico, and member of the past General Council. Br Ernesto spent time in West Virginia in the early nineties as part of a Contact Summer program; his focus was to learn English at the time, but his engaging personality captivated the young members of the program when he shared meals, liturgies and his musical talent with them.
As we celebrate St. Francis of Assisi today, we congratulate Br. Ernesto, who in many ways has captured the love of Jesus that is special to St. Francis, as well as his humility and devotion to poverty. May we follow in the footsteps of these two great men.
Bro. Rene
