I'd like to introduce you to one of the two new groups from Trois-Rivières, comprising young people of four different nationalities: one Lebanese, six Madagascans from Madagascar, one Colombian and three Quebecers.

The ethnic diversity of this group means that we are able to attract a wide range of people to the activities, whether it's singing, praying or sharing experiences. The members, most of whom already knew each other, form a very close-knit group.

Enthusiastic the spirituality of the five attitudes to life, they have decided to hold their meetings every four weeks. Some of them take turns to animate part of the meeting, even after only three meetings.

They are very fervent and serious in their commitment. They also celebrate a monthly Mass in Madagascan in the Franciscan House for the Madagascan population of the Mauricie region. Glory be to God!
