Ninety-four Participants from around the Marist World are currently attending the 22nd General Chapter in Rionegro, Colombia.
The intention of the General Chapter process is to invite Marists, both Brothers and lay people, to see where there is a potential in the world today to spread the Marist charism. The Chapter Assembly has been charged with the task of indicating the way for ‘a new La Valla’.
Social Media: #LaValla2017
The XXII General Chapter, which has as it’s motto “A New La Valla,” invites all Marists into a new beginning.
As Emili Turú emphasized in the Convocatory Letter, the goal of the Chapter Meeting “is to make La Valla relevant today, at the beginning of the 21st century, as a new world is emerging.”
Given this motivation, the council chose to use the hashtag #LaValla2017 accross various social media channels (YouTube, FaceBook and Twitter), and will use this expression to share information related to the activities of the Chapter Assembly.
The whole Marist world is invited to use #LaValla2017 in their posts to spread the message throughout the digital world!
