Greetings from World Youth Day

Hello from Panama City ! We have had a great pilgrimage to the isttmus country. There are pilgrims from Taiwan, Holland, France, the USA and Mexico. We have run into brothers accompanying groups in their diocese from Montréal and from Austria as well. With our groups, we are brothers Johannes-Pio, Arnaud-Charbel, Jean (from Tainan, Taiwan), Michael Mary and John Michael Paul. We have also seen brothers Vicente, Mario and Maximilien-Marie at our vocations stand. We’ve been really blessed with incredible encounters, sharing and times of worship with Panamanians in the village of Chepo las Minas during our pre WYD mission, Chitré during the days in the diocese and here in Panama City at the parish of the Most Holy Trinity.

Tonight we great the Holy Father for the first time. Pray that we be docile to receive his message and to put into practice what he asks for us as missionaries for the entire church.

God bless us all,

Brother John Michael Paul+

Clarification

The Congregation of Saint John has taken note of the news concerning the excommunication of an ex-member of the Congregation of St John who might wrongly be presented by news outlets as a Brother of Saint John. This person left the Congregation of Saint John 25 years ago. He is therefore no longer part of our religious institute, holds no responsibility in its name, and maintains no institutional connection with our Congregation. The excommunication decision concerns only the individual himself and pertains to his personal situation. It in no way concerns the Congregation of Saint John. The activities, commitments, and positions taken by this person are his own and do not in any way involve the Congregation of Saint John. The Congregation of Saint John reaffirms its full communion with the Catholic Church and its faithful attachment to the Holy Father. The Congregation carries out its mission in service to the Church, in communion with the bishops of the dioceses where the brothers are sent.
