Meeting of the 3 Central Administrations of the Montfortian Family.
The three Central Administrations of the Montfortian Family gathered from 23–25 March 2026 at the General House of the Brothers of St. Gabriel in Rome. The meeting began with a rich sharing of news and experiences, strengthening fraternal collaboration among the Montfort Missionaries, the Daughters of Wisdom, and the Brothers of St. Gabriel, with special attention to deeper cooperation in Saint Laurent-sur-Sèvre and Pontchâteau.

A highlight of the gathering was a pilgrimage to Montecassino and Casamaria Abbey, an inspiring journey of prayer, history, and discovery. The enduring witness of the monastery of Montecassino and the architectural beauty of Casamaria Abbey left a lasting impression on all.
The meeting concluded on 25 March with the joyful celebration of the Feast of the Annunciation, the patronal feast of the Montfortian Family, followed by a festive meal. Looking ahead, the 2027 meeting will be hosted by the Montfort Missionaries.

The Indonesian Mission of the Montfort Brothers of St. Gabriel began in September 2023 with the arrival of two pioneering Brothers from India: Bro. Antony Samy (Delhi Province) and Bro. Malar Priyan (Trichy Province). This mission is a collaborative effort involving five Indian provinces: Delhi, Trichy, Yercaud, Bengaluru and Hyderabad.

Two years on from its inception, the mission is steadily progressing. The Brothers are currently staying in a rented house while they identify and select suitable land for the construction of a future Formation House.

From 12–15 February 2026, Rev. Bro. Dionigi Taffarello made his canonical visit to Flores Island. The visit began with Holy Mass and included fraternal dialogue with the Brothers, as well as a meeting with the Vicar General and the Bishop’s Secretary of the diocese, during which the possibility of starting an educational mission in the diocese was discussed. The Superior General also met with Fr Anton (Provincial Superior of the Montfort Missionaries) and the Daughters of Wisdom, strengthening our bonds within the Montfortian family.

A special moment was the visit to Ruteng, where Rev. Bro. Dionigi saw the land where our educational mission could take root.

We trust that God’s providence will continue to guide the Montfort Brothers as we expand our mission to serve the young people and families of Indonesia. 🙏 ✨
