Provincial Days and Provincial Retreat in Poland (Brs)

In the mother house of the Polish Province, in Polanica Zdrój, from the 23 to 28 of July 2017, the brothers gathered for a few days to celebrate the Provincial Retreat. The main theme was the celebration of 200 years of our Constitutions.

On the first day there was a walk to visit the former monastery of the Benedictines in Broumov, in the Czech Republic. Afterwards we enjoyed the "Bohemian life" in a Czech restaurant.

The following day was dedicated to the subjects of the life of the province. The retreata began in the afternoon, centered on our Constitutions. The topics were:
1. The Constitutions in the history of the Congregation;
2. St. Benedict, the father of our Rule;
3. Our mission in the Constitutions of 1990;
4. The unity of the Constitutions of 1825 in relation to the Constitutions of 1990, in response to the decree Perfectae Caritatis and the challenges of our time;
5. The mission of the Polish province and the Constitutions.

On Thursday afternoon there was a special celebration to renew our consecration in which each brother personally made his renewal of vows.
