The retreat of the youth group "FVD"

From the evening of Friday, February 20, until noon of Sunday, February 22, the FVD Group had a recollection in the retreat House of "Our Lady of Betharram" at Lambaré (Paraguay) to kick off the pastoral Year 2015.

Guided by Father Gustavo Agin, Regional Superior of the Region Fr Auguste Etchecopar, by Fr. Osmar Cáceres, formator in charge of the postulants, and by the newly-ordained priest Fr Raul Villalba, over 80 members of all communities of the FVD Group could reflect and explore the theme of vocation.

During these days the group could hear the testimony of young and adult laypeople, consecrate laypersons, missionaries, religious women, married couples and priests - all generously shared their experience in walking with Jesus in their daily life.

Thanks to the priests present all had a chance to celebrate the sacrament of reconciliation and attend the celebration of the Holy Eucharist. On Saturday night a prayer session was organized in front of the Belles Sacrament.

The retreat ended on Sunday with a Eucharistic celebration presided by Father Gustavo and concelebrated by Fr. Osmar and Fr. Raul.
