The Marist Brothers held their 22nd General Chapter in Columbia in 2017. It adopted a 'U Process' as a way of establishing goals for the Institute for the next eight years. Br Maurice Berquet represents the process diagrammatically below.
This process lead the delegates to discern the following calls:
to be a global family, to be beacons or lighthouses of hope, to be bridge-builders, to be the face and the hands of mercy ... to walk with those children and young people on the margins and to respond audaciously to the emerging needs in the world.
