L’VIII Assemblea Generale dei Laici Missionari Scalabriniani si apre in Brasile

The Scalabrinian Missionary Lay Movement began its 8th General Assembly on October 21 in Garibaldi, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. Participants gathered to receive information and guidance ahead of the official opening, focusing on strengthening formation, deepening Scalabrinian identity, and renewing missionary commitment.

The assembly includes Scalabrinian Sister Superior General Luiza Dal Moro and Suor Myrna Cazar Tordillo. The gathering seeks to help members recognize Jesus in the lives of migrants and refugees to turn faith into actions of welcome and fraternity.

During the opening Mass, Brother Isidoro Massarolo compared the mission of the Scalabrinian Missionary Lay Movement to the service of deacons. He emphasized the importance of encounter, listening, sharing, and commitment to life.
