    Volume 2, Issue No. 34 September 13, 2020 CIRCULAR OF BROTHER ERNESTO SÁNCHEZ BARBA, FMS: SUPERIOR GENERAL “Homes of light. Caring for life. Generating new life”, is the title of the first Circular of Brother Ernesto Sánchez, Superior General, published for the whole Institute on Tuesday, September 8, the feast of the Nativity of Our Lady. In his writing, Brother Ernesto reflects particularly on the care of life, of others, of spirituality and of vocational animation. In relation to the present moment that we are living, Br. Ernesto expresses in the introduction: “I began to write this text a few months ago, and, along the way, the Covid-19 pandemic struck. We have been through this experience all over the world, and the crisis has impacted on virtually all the countries where we are present as an Institute. In each place, in each country, we have suffered the consequences in a very similar way. It seems to me that, in the current context, there is no better time than now to talk about building homes of light in the face of this situation of uncertainty that seems to be dragging on. We are being called to care for life and to generate new life in moments of great fragility and vulnerability in the world.” To facilitate the dissemination, the Circular is sent to the Institute electronically on this day, in PDF format. At the beginning of October, the printed version will be sent by mail to the Administrative Units. (Champagnat.org) NDMU-IBED shifts to Virtual Learning From the traditional face-to-face mode of education, Notre Dame of Marbel University – Integrated Basic Education Department on August 24 took a leap of change for the Academic Year 2020-2021 by embracing the New Normal through Online Distance Learning.

  • THE COMMUNITY BEGINS to GROW Jean-Baptiste Audras, Later Brother Louis, Was Only Fourteen and a Half When He Asked to Join the De La Salle Brothers at Saint Chamond
    Volume 3, Issue No. 01 January 03, 2021 On January 2, the Marist Institute celebrates its 204th anniversary. Saint Marcellin founded the Marist Brothers by welcoming the first disciples to the small house in La Valla, France. Below we reproduce the narration of that moment according to the words of Brother Seán Sammon, former Superior General, in the book “A Heart that knew no bounds“. THE COMMUNITY BEGINS TO GROW Jean-Baptiste Audras, later Brother Louis, was only fourteen and a half when he asked to join the De La Salle Brothers at Saint Chamond. Judging him to be too young, they advised 33 A heart that knew no bounds him to continue discussing his vocation with his confessor. As luck would have it, that person was the young priest from La Valla. The boy told Marcellin that he had resolved to consecrate his life to God. After talking with Jean-Baptiste and his parents, and reflecting prayerfully on the situation, the priest invited young Audras to join Granjon. Two months later the house repairs were complete. The first two recruits took up occupancy on January 2nd, 1817. Henceforth, the Bonner house would be referred to, at least in the Marist world, as the “cradle” of the Institute, and January 2nd, 1817 as the foundation date of the Little Brothers of Mary. Its members were to embrace a spirituality that included mindfulness of God’s 1 | P a g e MARIST NEWS BITS presence, confidence in Mary and her protection, and the practice of the “little” virtues of simplicity and humility.

    pastoral care and love. His evangelical concern for the common good in issues of justice and peace and in Church– State relations, for the due development of Basic Ecclesial Communities and the renewal of parish life, for the zealous fostering of priestly and religious life – in these areas too his vision and labors have been constant and untiring. Vatican II has called for “new priests and new bishops for a new Church in a new world”. Orlando Quevedo is surely a “man of the Church” whose person, life and work have given us a true embodiment of a Christian, priest and bishop according to the mind and desire of that manifestly Spirit–guided ecumenical council of our time. 2014 DOCTOR OF HUMANITIES, HONORIS CAUSA Ateneo de Davao University, Davao City 2014 BUKAS PALAD AWARD – Ateneo de Manila University Te Award seeks to capture the Ignatian spirit of generosity and to give recognition to the unconditional, dedicated service of a religious person whose notable gospel values and invaluable contributions are seen as unmistakable evidence of the prophetic role of the Church in today’s world and 1964 1971 1974 giving tangible proofs of this in service, justice and love. Te award is also meant to be a reminder of the need and worthwhileness of priestly and religious vocation for the service of God, the Church, the people, and the cause of the Kingdom of God. Since his ordination in 1964, Quevedo has taken on a succession of responsibilities, each one bigger and more challenging than the last, starting from his work in the OMI community and apostolate, then in the ministry of the Church in the Philippines, in Asia, and in Rome.
