No, this is not a promotion for the DNC, but the theme of the Marist International Youth Encounter to be held in Rio de Janiero next July 17-21 prior to the World Youth Day. It's aim will be to deepen the Marist Charism among youth as well as to focus on the rights of children, so often abused, around the world. The enthusiasm of the planners is just a foretaste of the impact the gathering will have on the attendees from around the Marist World. The Province of the United States is planning to send a delegation. Details will be forthcoming.
Such an event is another sign of the lasting and vigorous vision to St. Marcellin "to make Jesus known and loved" in every country and every diocese in the world. Of him it was said that he had a heart that knows no bounds, and from that flows the corollary that the world is not large enough for a Marist.
Today at Camp Marist we will introduce our 376 freshmen to this Marist Vision; pray that they receive it with open and enthusiastic hearts.
Bro. Rene
