The current LEAD District Council (DC) held its last DC meeting on 3 April.

While there are still a lot of district-wide concerns to be tackled and decisions to be made, it’s good to pause for a while and thank all the members of this current administration, both previous and ongoing, for their service over the past four years, especially in leading the district through the pandemic.

They’ll still hold the fort until 14 May and will ensure that the transition process to the new leadership team will be as smooth as possible.

The month of April witnessed 21 Young Brothers from LEAD renewing their temporary vows. Praise the Lord!

For this year, the LEAD Brothers’ Annual Retreat was held by Sectors. Usually held during the Holy Week, Brothers in their respective Sectors gathered together for prayer and reflection sessions, Paschal Triduum liturgies, renewal of vows, meals and socials, and other community bonding activities.
