Madrid, Spain. On March 9 – 11th the XII Encounter of Religious in their juniorate phase was held in Madrid, organized by the “Insitute of the Theology of Religious Life” (ITVR) and the “Regina Apostolorum School” (ERA), centers of formation which are run by the Claretians of the Province of Santiago.
The classroom of the ITVR was filled with young religious men and women in temporary vows (juniors) who are continuing in their initial training, deepening their experience of this way of life in the Church.
This 12th annual gathering focused on the theme of “The circularity of communion”, as a call to the different forms of life in the Church. Helping to develop the topic, they enjoyed the presence of adult religious men and women, teachers, members of different movements and ways of life, and other Church figures who shared their experiences with the participants at the meeting.
