Father Pedro Aguado, the Father General, continues his visit to the Piarist Young Adults, the brothers in initial formation and the Demarcational Congregations. Now it is the turn of Brazil-Bolivia, whose Pre-Novitiate Formation House is in Serra, Brasil. The juniors (Peterson Thunder, Marcus Tulio Martins and Jardel Machado) and the pre-novices (Jefferson Morales, Wesley Oliveira, Thiago Menezes, and Francisco José de Oliveira) met there and one by one had personal talks with Father General as well as community meetings for each level of formation.
Then he spent two days with the young Piarists Adults (Deibson, Alex, Alexandre, Heyder, Ivomar, Wilson, Franck Olivier) who shared with Fr General and Fr Julio Alberto Álvarez, the Assistant General for America, their challenges and dreams as Piarists of this beautiful Piarist Presence in very poor and needy areas, rich in joy for the children and young people they accompany.
Father Pedro then visited the novitiate in Santa Cruz, Bolivia. There he strengthened the two novices, Fabrício Rodrigues and Roberto Pereira, in their vocation and discipleship of the Lord. He also met with the members of the Provincial Congregation to accompany the leadership of the demarcation.
The visit to the Province was rounded off by the celebration of the Eucharist and prayer in the formation communities. We ask the Lord to continue to give vocations who dedicate their lives to the Kingdom of God in the Pious Schools of Brazil and Bolivia.
