he first meeting of the Commission "New models of animation, management and government for Marist educational works" was held in the General House in Rome, from 3 to 5 April 2012. The Commission, formed by the General Council at the request of the Secretariat of Mission, is composed of: Mr Marcos C창ndido (Brasil Centro-Sul), Br Gabriel VillaReal (l'Hermitage), Br Michel Green (Sydney), and Brs Victor Preciado and John Klein, of the General Council, and Jo찾o Carlos do Prado, of the Secretariat of Mission. The mission of the Commission is to further the initiative of the Plan of animation and government of the Marist Institute for the period 2009-2017, with a view to "continuing to promote reflection and sharing on new models of anima-
