Second Noviciate in Brazil

The Community of Curitiba, with its Centre of Formation and Parish, hosted our Second Noviciate from 15 July until 15 August.

During the courses of formation on varied themes and excursions in the city of Curitiba, we were introduced to Cesar of St. Joseph and Yeison of St. Teresa of the Andes from the Colombian Province, Luis of St. Teresita from the Delegation of Ecuador. Lucas of the Holy Spirit from South Brazil and Ezequiel of Jesus-Mary-Joseph from the Argentinian Delegation.  Learning to see Carmel as a large family helped us to understand that “the tiny seed that is in us” is becoming “the foundation for those who come after us”.

We were certainly spiritually enriched by our sharing in the different ways of living the same Teresian charism.   We extend our gratitude and appreciation to the Province and Community that hosted us, with all the  affection that is so typical of Brazilian people.
