During the morning, the participants had a session to work in international groups and make commitments on a personal, provincial and regional level to Champagnat Global.
These same commitments were taken to the chapel where the remains of Saint Marcellin Champagnat are located and placed on the altar as a symbol of an offering to him.
This farewell ceremony, led by the brothers of the L’Hermitage community, included speeches by Br. Ben Consigli, General Councillor, and Br. Ernesto Sánchez, Superior General, who both gave emotional words of thanks and farewell.
Then all the participants were given a jar of water from the river Gier and some pieces of the Hermitage rock. A symbolic gift from the community of brothers who live in the mother house.
And so we closed the 2nd Global Champagnat Meeting.
We continue to build a Global Family!
