LAYMAN IN MUGNANO DI NAPOLI
The Expiatory
Victims of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament thus recognized the particular
charism of Maria Cristina Brando, eager to make an authentic Eucharistic and
Marian spirituality alive in the Church. From its foundation this ideal was
also extended to the layman in Mugnano di Napoli, encouraging an associative
form of believers which, in 1992, the centenary of the Congregation, took the
name of "Eucharistic Adoratrices". Considering the apostolic
fruitfulness of the initiative, in accordance with the Code of Canon Law, the
lay Association "Maria Cristina Brando" is established, placed under
the patronage of Santa Maria Cristina Brando.
