On Saturday, March 22nd<\/sup>, 2025, a Farewell Celebration took place at the Motherhouse of the Brothers of Christian Instruction in La Prairie.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Celebration time in the Main Chapel<\/em><\/p>\n

The Theme was intended first and foremost to be one of Gratitude and Joy for all that has been experienced, and also of Confidence and Hope for all that was to come.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of the Participants in the Celebration: Brothers Robert Smyth, Mario Houle, Herv\u00e9 Lacroix<\/em><\/p>\n

Brother Mario Houle, Provincial: “We first experienced a time of Sharing, Witnessing and Thanksgiving in the Main Chapel, followed by a Cocktail and the Traditional Barbecue. It was a very Rich Fraternal Moment at La Prairie. In addition to the sixty Brothers who came from everywhere, Daughters of Providence and Associate Members of Our Two Congregations, we were joined by fellow Priests who usually come to Celebrate at Our Place, people close to the Mother House; Long-time Friends and Faithful Employees who are Indispensable Partners for the upkeep of the House, the Care of the Brothers, their health, Our Archives, and I forgot some … And we were Magnificently received by Brother Herv\u00e9 Lacroix and his Community.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

Many Guests………….. Happy to be there!<\/em><\/p>\n

Brother Herv\u00e9 Zamor, Superior General, through his welcome presence, revealed the importance of that Moment, of that passing of the “Baton.” See his full Message:\u00a0<\/strong> : >>><\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cLet us ask the Lord for the <\/em><\/strong>G<\/em><\/strong>race of <\/em><\/strong>B<\/em><\/strong>oldness
\n<\/em><\/strong>when the Spirit asks us to take a step forward.
\n<\/em><\/strong>May <\/em><\/strong>H<\/em><\/strong>e give us the <\/em><\/strong>A<\/em><\/strong>postolic <\/em><\/strong>C<\/em><\/strong>ourage to continue proclaiming the Gospel
\n<\/em><\/strong>through the <\/em><\/strong>T<\/em><\/strong>estimony of a life entirely given to Christ wherever <\/em><\/strong>H<\/em><\/strong>e sends us.
\nMay <\/em><\/strong>H<\/em><\/strong>e keep us open and available to the creativity and surprises of the Holy Spirit.
\n<\/em><\/strong>A book closes!
\n<\/em><\/strong>But another opens: the Lord is waiting for us on the other shore to teach us
\n<\/em><\/strong>to love <\/em><\/strong>H<\/em><\/strong>im better and serve <\/em><\/strong>H<\/em><\/strong>im differently.
\n<\/em><\/strong>The important thing is to continue living for God <\/em><\/strong>A<\/em><\/strong>lone.
\n<\/em><\/strong>and to abandon ourselves to <\/em><\/strong>H<\/em><\/strong>is Providence.”<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/td>\n\"\"<\/td>\n\"\"<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Everything was done to enhance the “Taste” (thanks to the Chef of the day!) and “Hearing” (thanks to the Musician of the day!) under the “Eye of Jean-Marie”!<\/em><\/p>\n

It was a shame for those of you who missed the Delicious Mechoui and the Traditional Pouding Ch\u00f4meur!<\/strong><\/p>\n

The nine Brothers residing at the Mother House would leave at the end of June. The Coll\u00e8ge Jean de la Mennais would then continue the FIC presence in that Historic Location in a different way.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/td>\n\"\"<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

A House steeped in History! On the left, part of the School Complex, where the Brothers live… and the Cemetery where more than 500 Brothers rested in Peace!<\/em><\/p>\n

“The School Corporation would take possession of all the Buildings and Land that the Brothers have acquired and built over time. This Great School was performing Wonderfully Well Academically and has a very Enviable Reputation. It would continue to develop the Mennaisian Charism of today and maintain the Heritage received from the FIC. We wish them every success and offer them the help of Our Prayers.” (Brother Charles Desjarlais)<\/strong><\/p>\n
