On this month of October, two members of the District are in Ireland and Australia. In Ireland, Fr. Pat Devlin, SM, the District Superior of the Marist Fathers in Asia attended the Council of the Society along with the members of the General Administration and the Provincial Superiors of the different units of the Marist Fathers all over the world. This meeting happens after 4 years since the last General Chapter in 2009. The purpose is to review what had happened in the last 4 yours and to look ahead for the next 4 years what is best, fruitful and effective for the life and mission of the Society of Mary.
Fr. Lauro Arcede, SM, is attending the Marist renewal course in Sydney, Australia along with 9 Marists from the Pacific. He had just completed 3 weeks of the program. Fr. Lauro is enjoying much the program in so far that he has plenty time to pray, rest and relax. He has chance also to see the beauty of Australia by visiting the city as well as getting closed to Aussie famous animals such as the koala and wallabies. The program commences in December 2013.
We pray for their safety and blessings.
