Champagnat

When a need emerges in society there is often a person who sees this need and strives to rectify the problem causing the need.  We could say this person receives a charism (or gift) from God to act.  Often people gather around this person to help the newly emerging leader achieve this goal. We might call this newly formed group a creative minority.  It has been said across history that creative minorities shape the world.  I am doing some research on this topic and would be most grateful if you could spare 10 or 15 minutes to complete a two page creative minorities survey by clicking below.

On Wednesday, 14th July, 13 people joined 3 team members to learn about the charism of Marcellin Champagnat.  The programme began with a presentation on Marcellin, his life and spirit.  We then discussed how this charism has been passed on to other people since 1817. The realisation that the charism now inspires people in 79 countries seemed to enthuse those who attended.
