Gilbertine Order of Brazil
In about 1998 a priest of the Diocese of Sao Paulo in Brazil, Fr. Carlos Apericido Marchesani, visited the Gilbertine Oblates as he had heard about their activities and wished to visit Sempringham, having had a devotion to Saint Gilbert since a seminarian in the United States. He later obtained permission from his bishop to found a small religious community, ad experimentem, which was set up near Sao Paulo. The experiment was brought to an end in 2012.

Famous quotes containing the word order:
“In order to acquire a growing and lasting respect in society, it is a good thing, if you possess great talent, to give, early in your youth, a very hard kick to the right shin of the society that you love. After that, be a snob.”
—Salvador Dali (1904–1989)
