In June, 13 of our Scholastic Brothers began their teaching practicum placements (estajiu) in both Catholic and government schools across the Diocese of Baucau and Lautem. This important stage of their formation allows them to put their learning into practice while deepening their commitment to the Marist vocation through direct service in education.
The Brothers are engaged not only in classroom teaching but also in broader ministry roles, including music ministry, after-school programs, and active participation in local parish life. Their presence brings energy and witness to the communities they serve, offering students the unique opportunity to learn from young men deeply rooted in faith, service, and mission.
Many of us can recall the challenges and rewards of practicum teaching - from the long nights spent preparing lessons to the balancing act of engaging students while earning the approval of supervising teachers. For our Scholastics, this period offers both growth and insight, forming a solid foundation for their future ministry as educators and Marist Brothers.
We thank our Brothers for their dedication, passion, and the joy they bring into their work. Their presence is a blessing to the schools and communities they serve - and we look forward to sharing more photos and stories in the July edition.
Congratulations and well done, Brothers!
