Dear Brothers,


As we begin the month of July, our Brothers will begin the Spirit of Saragossa Retreat in preparation for professing Perpetual Professions. The Spirit of Saragossa Retreat has been used as the preparation program for Perpetual Vows for over 15 years now.  

The retreat begins the evening of Thursday, July 1, and concludes on Saturday, July 31. It will be held at the Jesuit Retreat Center in Parma (Cleveland), OH.

There will be three Marianists on the retreat:

  • Brother Patrick Cahill (Province of Meribah, Kellenberg Memorial Community)

  • Brother Justin Quiroz (U.S. Province, Chambers Street Community)

  • Brother Andrew Santoriello (Province of Meribah, Chaminade-Mineola Community)

Brother Patrick Cahill
Brother Justin Quiroz
Brother Andrew Santoriello

Brother Tom Redmond (U.S. Province, Novitiate Community) will be directing the retreat.

Brothers and communities are asked to pray for our Brothers on retreat daily during this month.  

United in the Marianist Charism,
Fr. Oscar Vasquez, SM
