The election took place after a period of discernment led by Father Darío Gómez Zuluaga, from the Diocese of Sonsón-Rionegro, who invited the Capitular Brothers to reflect on Authority as service. An Authority guided by synodality ceases to be pyramidal and instead walks together with others toward the goals of the Charism.

We congratulate Brother Erik Castillo on his appointment as Provincial Superior and accompany him with our prayers, asking the Lord to guide him with His Holy Spirit, so that he may not be the owner of decisions, but rather an administrator of the Charism of Saint John of God, in the words of the priest who guided the discernment.
