On 28 October 2007, ARC delegates from across Europe met up in Brussels for the bi-annual ARC European meeting. There was much to discuss!





The meeting began with a prayer before moving on to discuss the projects that had taken place in 2007. Each Board presented feedback submitted by their members and any problems were ironed out. In the afternoon, Christian Michel of CASA and Mgr Timothy Verdun of Ars et Fides arrived to give a presentation of their various organizations and we discussed ways of bringing the three closer together.





We also discussed potential new project for next year before heading into Brussels for some traditional food and beer! The next meeting will be held in Paris in March 2008 and will coincide with the Ars et Fides international meeting.
