Members of the Fe y Vida group gather on the steps of St. Edward’s University in Austin Texas.
Fe y Vida held their annual national summer institute from June 30-July 6, 2013, at St. Edward’s University in Austin, Texas. Participants numbering 172, including Hispanic young adults and team members from 39 dioceses in the U.S. and three Latin American countries, came together for another wonderful national summer program.
Fathers John Bolduc, s.m., and Paul Frechette, s.m., were on hand and participated in a new track entitled "Mission Formation," which was sponsored by the Maryknoll Fathers and Fe y Vida. Forty participated in this program, with 20 young adult Hispanics and 20 adults working in Hispanic ministries in the United States.
"We looked at many Bible references and different Mission documents of the Church, especially Aparecida, Brazil, 2007," Frechette said. "This document calls us to be better disciples and missionaries for the Lord. We contemplated how we can do this, in our own context in the USA 2013, and in our different roles."
