On 5 October, diocesan priests from Gitega, Burundi – who are friends of the Prado or keen to learn more about Prado spirituality – gathered to to mark the 40th anniversary of the beatification of Blessed Antoine Chevrier.

A wonderful opportunity to bring to life and share the spirituality of the Prado, far beyond Lyon, with priests who wish to explore in greater depth the path set out by Father Chevrier: « Knowing Jesus Christ is everything. »

This news has been passed on to us by the’Abbot Boniface, a supporter of Prados, who thus bears witness to the vitality of the Prado in Burundi.

Among the participants is Jaume Antoni Obrador Adover, a priest from Majorca, currently the only priest working at the Prado in Burundi. Alongside him are an Italian priest and several fellow priests from Gitega, all of whom came together, in particular, for the Prado retreat in June 2024.

A fraternal presence that bears witness to the way in which, through these gatherings, the spirituality of the Prado continues to be passed on and to reach priests in every corner of the world.
