France

As every year, the MCR (Mouvement Chrétien des Retraités) in France welcomed on March, on lands imbued with the spirituality of Saint Teresa, pilgrims of a particular kind, since they came to Lisieux abandoning their daily lives for a week, to discover all the aspects and tools offered by the movement or simply improve it.

Portugal

Elio Abreu National President of Vida Ascendente Portugal for 7 years ceased his duties at the end of last year to devote himself to his family. Leonardo Antao has just succeeded him at the head of the movement.

We thank Elio for his invaluable cooperation throughout these years and welcome Leonardo.
