What is Castores?
The Castores Movement belongs to the “Deepening Pastoral” offered by the School, continuing the work started at the MEI and in Horneros.
Castores works around three pillars or dimensions: Christian faith, service and community life. Those who take on the commitment that Castores proposes have the opportunity to deepen their faith through service to those most in need, sharing this process within a group over the course of three years.
The movement is based at the “San Alberto Hurtado” Pastoral Center (on the corner of the school), where group meetings are held. Service activities take place on Saturdays, at different times, depending on the service assigned to each group each year.
Castores' goals
For each year of their process in Castores, the group is responsible for a different service, which seeks to help them in their process of growth in responsibility, openness and commitment to those most in need. The services are:
1st year of Baccalaureate
Construction in family homes in peripheral neighborhoods or in housing cooperatives.
2nd year of Baccalaureate
Animation in parishes or snack bars, where we seek to transmit our faith, joy and hope through play.
3rd year of Baccalaureate
Accompanying abandoned or homeless elderly people, or people with disabilities, in the Cottolengos.
