Dear Confreres,
We are pleased to announce that on July 11th, Memorial of Saint Benedict, patron of Europe, the members of the international community in Nijmegen, Fr. Jesús Baena, Fr. Michal Tabak and Fr. Mario Nunes, will become members of the NLV Region. They have strongly dedicated themselves to learning the language and culture of the Netherlands. 
We thank them, as well as the other members of the NLV Region who are now formally welcoming these brothers into their Entity. We are grateful for their efforts and collaboration so that we could arrive at this significant moment.
Another important information is that the group of SCJs living in Teteringen is gradually moving to Nijmegen, joining other confreres from the Region who live in the residence of Zorgcentrum Huize Rosa. This will undoubtedly foster greater closeness and fraternity among all the NLV members.
Let us pray to Saint Benedict so that he may intercede with the Heart of Jesus and bless the entire NLV Region. May the Lord strengthen in them the spirit of unity, so desired by our Founder, and inspire new vocations.
Fraternally,
Levi dos Anjos scj
