BRASIL, André Peres/Cássio Leal. We are nearing a historic moment for the Schoenstatt Boys’ Youth (JUMAS) in Brazil, which will be held in Caieiras, where JUMAS may define their National Ideal after many years of work, contributions to the Capital of Grace and meetings held by their parents.
From 31 October to 2 November, the Schoenstatt Boys’ Youth in Brazil will meet in Caieiras-SP to conclude their search for their National Ideal.
The preparations, which began at the start of 2003 with the first National Leadership Meeting, have undergone many developments but has achieved the following: two national meetings and three national forums, resulting in a Working Document (a more extensive and comprehensive form of the elements in the Ideal) and a Magna Carta (consisting of a long description of the Ideal for JUMAS Brazil).
This entire process will come to a close at the end of this “Marian” month during which we are also commemorating 95 years of Schoenstatt’s founding. For the second time in its history, this meeting will be broadcast live on the Internet.
To watch the National Meeting live during those days, visit the JUMAS site.
If you want to see a special invitation to JUMAS handed directly from the Mother Shrine on 18 October 2009, where we celebrated 95 years of the Movement’s founding, watch the video below (Portuguese only).
