À propos de cet audio

What does it look like to walk with youth and people who go underserved? Hear from a wide range of Viatorian Voices, who each pay witness to this mission, spirituality, and ministry in different ways. In walking with us through these conversations on the way, we hope you'll find a deeper understanding of God's invitations for you and discern a faithful response.


Viatorians are religious brothers and priests as well as lay women and men associates. We proclaim Jesus Christ and the Gospel and raise communities where faith is lived, deepened, and celebrated. With Saint Viator as our patron, we walk in the footsteps of Venerable Louis Querbes, striving to do everything well, so that, through us, Jesus may be adored and loved. For more information, visit Viatorians.com or follow us @ViatorianUSA on Instagram and YouTube. Get in touch through social DMs or emailing vocations@viatorians.com.

  • Exploring Our Global Solidarity with Colombia and Br. John Alexander Avellaneda, CSV
    Jan 12 2026

    We continue exploring our global Viatorian solidarity in this conversation with Br. John Alexander Avellaneda, CSV, of Colombia, a foundation of the Province of Chicago (US). Br. John professed first vows in 2019 and perpetual vows in 2022; he was ordained a transition deacon in 2025 and will be ordained a priest later in 2026. After studying philosophy, theology, and education in Colombia, he came to the US a few years ago to learn English and continue theological studies at Catholic Theological Union. Here, he reflects on Viatorian and Catholic life in Colombia and how language and culture have opened connections and shown him the movement of the Holy Spirit.
