Hello brothers and sisters.
thank you very much for giving us news from different places. i would like to share with you some aspects of our life here in Ampahidrano, a formation house where postulants of marist brothers are getting formed.
For now we province of Madagascar has got 11 postulants and four formators for them. The province decided years back that formation for postulants last for 2 years. It is quite long but the young people here are happy with that. During the first year they focus more on mastering the English and French languages. but they also learn marist spirit through community and prayer life. They also do different formative activities such as manual work, recollection and sports.

When they are in the second year, they prepare themselves for noviciate. They do many activities as the first years but they have time to reflect more on their choice to become marist brothers.
The formators try their best to give them the most appropriate marist formation for the young of the today's world. They make sure that each one of them feels at home and is able to contribute to the building up the community.

Generally the formation is going on well but we ask you to pray for these young people so that they may be able to give themselves totally to God and to the Institute.

THANK YOU

BROTHER TIAMARO ALPHONSE, PROVINCE OF MADAGASCAR
