On 1 and 2 November 2025, the Meeting of Nazarene Fraternities of Argentina was held at the Villa Sagrada Familia in San Antonio de Arredondo, Córdoba. Sixty-one fraternity members and five Brothers participated.
During these days of meeting, fraternal coexistence and integration, we began the day with prayer, remembering the anniversary of the birth of Brother Gabriel Taborin. Then we walked along the trail designed to recognise and care for the biodiversity existing in the native forest that surrounds the villa. In the afternoon, we had a time of formation where, with the guidance of Brother Fernando León, we reflected on the synodal journey of the Church, the meaning and dimensions of synodality in our Congregation and the FFNN Association, and its relationship to our current life. We experienced beautiful moments of fraternal sharing and Nazarene joy. During Saturday evening Mass, seventeen members of the Nazarene Fraternities made their first commitment, seven expressed their commitment forever, and several renewed their temporary commitments. All the participants highlighted the experiential nature of the meeting and how important it is to gather strength and continue walking and growing in the spirit of family.
On Sunday morning, there was a space to share news from the last Chapter and the Sa-Fa Family Assembly and to work on some proposals for the 2025-2031 six-year period in the journey of the Fraternities and the Life Project of each one.
In the evaluation, it was stated that expectations were met, highlighting the benefits of allowing an experience of living together and another moment of sharing experiences and formation during the year, with the testimony of Brothers and fraternities. The importance of learning more about the life, spirituality and mission of Venerable Brother Gabriel was appreciated. We leave grateful to the Lord for these days and ready to take what we have experienced during these days back to our communities and to grow in Nazarene spirituality inspired by the Holy Family of Nazareth.
