Br. Roger of Taize

2015 will be very special to Taize. It will be the 75th year of the founding of the community, 10th death anniversary of Br. Roger and 100th year of his birth. A visionary non-pereil, Br. Roger founded the Ecumenical Community when the trumpets of World War II were sounding large in Europe. Ever since, it has become refuge for millions of young people from around the world, who thirst for peace. Br. Alois is leading this pilgrimage today, with the support of a vibrant band of brothers and sisters to support him. The "Pilgrimage of Trust" continues. The brothers of Taize want the Community to be a place of Trust, a safe abode for those who come to seek inner peace.
