Mexico

• In the outskirts of the city of México, at the
  foot of the Guadalupe volcano, the Marist mission
  has taken concrete form in a project of popular
  education born at the same time as the settlement
  which took place 23 years ago. The founding
  Brothers, the teaching team and the local people
  met to analyse their difficulties and so find a
  solution to the most urgent problems
  regularisation of the land, housing, water,
  lighting, drainage, transport, education, etc.
  This work dynamics paid off in the short run and
  the basic services were provided.
• The school caters for 642 children and
  adolescents from 6 to 15 years old, and offers
  the service of a basic education in primary,
  secondary, and prep school. At the same time, the
  school caters for handicapped children and young
  people, thanks to an inclusion project called
   Kintum  (rainbow).

25

• The Miravalles pedagogical method is based on a
  participative and democratic organization
  (formation of assemblies and committees).
• They have some projects as well free Saturday
  workshops for the children, a  rondalla 
  (troupe of musicians playing string instruments),
  a choir, a dance group and rock bands.
• At present, work is going on the project
   calmecac , a centre of integral formation for
  youth and adolescents, where there will be an art
  school, a centre of professional formation,
  a prep, two university faculties, a sports
  complex and a large public square.
• The Miravalles project is making a contribution
  by offering chances of growth to children and
  young people who are needy and in a state of
  vulnerability.

26
Canada

• The Provincial phase of the process occurred at
  Cap-de-la-Madeleine, an important Marial
  sanctuary in Quebec, on 10th, 11th and 12th
  November 2006, in the setting of a forum of the
  Quebec Marist Movement.
• Laypeople and brothers, eighty people from twenty
  to eighty years of age gathered during the
  morning of 11th November. They prayed, reflected,
  listened to and shared the theme One Heart, One
  Mission.

27

• Everyone was then regrouped in teams to reflect
  and ponder upon
• If you were Marcellin and were able to pose one
  sole action for deprived young people, what would
  you start to do now in the context of our
  Quebecois society?
• The suggestions were numerous to undertake the
  foundation of a house of love to welcome and
  listen to those interested the idea of creating
  an alternative teaching establishment for those
  who detected serious problems in the public
  school system. The assembly finished with the
  Eucharist on Sunday morning. The gospel of the
  day invited us to start our journey Go, I am
  sending you, two by two. A gesture of gratitude
  was posed by eight laypeople who were committed
  to giving witness to and living the Marist
  charism. The theme One Heart, One Mission
  fulfilled its goal by bringing together one
  hundred and sixteen people who reflected upon
  Marcellins work.

28
Cuba

• Some call Cuba "the pearl of the Antilles" and
  this refers to their beauty and geographical
  attractions others the "alligator asleep in the
  Caribbean" by keeping the similarity with the
  silhouette of this amphibian. The island is
  approximately 1200 kilometers long and has a
  population of eleven million, 30 of which are of
  African descent. The project was born in Cuba
  in June 1993.  The project at that time included
  seven brothers and two communities.

29

• The work has focused on the pastoral care
  of two parishes.  This includes the animation of
  liturgical life, the social ministry and
  catechesis.  Marist charism and their personal
  inclinations have made the most significant
  contribution. They have concentrated their
  energies on the accompaniment of children,
  adolescents and youth as well as on training
  activities, advisory catechetical and youth
  groups.  Marist brothers are striving to carry
  forward the "shared mission" along with a small
  but enthusiastic team of lay people and a small
  group of priests . They have a motivating
  diocesan pastoral plan and an organizational
  infrastructure that enables them to address the
  most urgent needs.

30

• They are excited to be able to make present
  the charism of Marcellin Champagnat in a
  socialist country, to be near children and young
  people who mostly know the Gospel, to offer a
  word of hope and guidance to boys who come from
  broken families. We are encouraged by the
  possibility of collaborating in training of lay
  catechists.   

31
USA

• The Marist School (CCS in South
  Florida)   Champagnat Catholic School was
  founded by Dr. Reinaldo Alonso and his wife Mrs.
  Maria I. Alonso at a time in the history
  of    Miami when there was a shortage of
  schools.  Champagnat came in to strengthen the
  religious, the civic and patriotic roots
  of    children  coming in from Cuba and Central
  and South America.  Champagnat started under the
  auspices of the Marist Brothers,   with
   headquarters in Guatemala.  This was possible
  due to Dr. Alonsos previous years as a principal
  of the Champagnat elementary in    La Vibora,
  Cuba and later on the Champagnat High School in
  Cienfuegos, Cuba.    

32

•   Champagnat Miami campus opened its classroom
  doors on September 8, 1968 at the corner of 29th
  Avenue and 7th Street SW , Miami with 123
  students.  In May of 1969, they had their First
  Communion at St. Dominics Church and in June
  their first award ceremony at the Miami High
  Auditorium.  In 1970 they moved to their present
  address at 2609 NW 7th Street, Miami, Florida and
  in 1973 they opened the doors to a second campus
  presently located at 369 East 10 Street, Hialeah,
  Fl.  They now hold First Communions and
  Confirmations at St. John the Apostle and St
  Michael the Archangel Churches.  Their graduation
  ceremonies are held at our Hialeah campus for
  Kindergarten and Eighth grades.  Their High
  School graduation is at St. Michael the
  Archangel.

CHALLENGES OF MARIST LAY OF AFRICA

• Clearly, some challenges have discouraged many
  lay people in Africa. These include
• Identity is an important issue facing us
  today. Some members still do not understand their
  role in the Marist Family. We ask important
  questions. Are we equal to the brothers? What is
  the level of participation in Marist
  spirituality? Once again, the issue of identity
  is not clear. Acceptance some brothers, in
  some provinces or districts in Africa, have not
  fully recognized Marist Laity. Some simply see
  them as partners in their various fields of
  apostolate. They have not done enough to
  encourage them.Training Marist Laity feel that
  there should be a process of proper training for
  the laity to become fully integrated in Marist
  spirituality.

51
