From October 9th to 11th, 2025, the Mission Team met at the Mennaisian Family Retreat and Reception House in Achocalla (near La Paz), with the aim of reflecting on, evaluating, and planning its Future Institutional Journey.
During those days, the Team evaluated the Three-year plan 2023-2025 and worked on developing the District’s Guidelines for the period 2026-2028. The Central Question of the Meeting was:
“How could we live out Our Mission as a Mennaisian Catholic School in the Current Context?”
Taking as a basis the Mennaisian School Documents and the District Chapter Document 2025, and using the Methodology of Conversation in the Spirit, the Team discerned the Strategic Lines that would guide the Animation of the District in the years to come, with the aim of responding in a Creative and Committed Way to the Challenges of the Mennaisian Catholic School.
During the stay, the Team was also able to visit Mennaisian Educational Works in the City of El Alto, including: the Luis Espinal Camps Educational Unit (Morning and Afternoon Schools), the Antaguara Center, the Juan María Health Center, the Yuriñani Children’s Center and the Aynjasiñani Family Sponsorship Center.
