 CÓRDOBA - ARGENTINA - PERPETUAL PROFESSION OF BROTHER MARIO CÉSAR HERRERA: On Saturday, April 12, Brother Mario César Herrera made his perpetual profession of vows at the conclusion of a Mission Assembly in the District of Argentina-Paraguay in the presence of many Brothers and others.
The celebration was held at the Colegio La Salle de Argüello, in Córdoba, where Brother is a teacher. This school is located a  short distance from the Postulancy community and he is also a member of the formation staff. Brother Mario holds a licentiate in Social Work and he collaborates in the social-communication area of the Malvinas Argentinas school.
The celebration was simple yet there was much participation. It was presided by the Bishop of the Diocese of Añatuya, Adolfo Uriona, a Diocese where Brothers and laity of the District conduct diocesan educational works in service of the poor. Brother Mario lived in that Diocese for some years and it was there that his friendship with the Bishop grew.
Everyone agreed that it was wonderful to be able to celebrate the personal growth of Mario.
