Exploring Our Global Solidarity with Colombia & Br. John Alexander Avellaneda, CSV

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. (This episode debuted on January 12, 2026.)

Bolder Dreams:
Ministry Formation

Viatorians are committed to walking with youth and people who go underserved. To strengthen and sustain us in this mission, we looked to kindred spirits in Church ministry to share insights and advice from outside our sponsored ministries.

In Bolder Dreams, we follow Fr. Querbes’ wise advice that “we are bolder when we dream we’re doing God’s work,” and seek to learn from faithful ministers seeking to build the Kingdom of God across the Church.

These 13 special episodes are in the podcast feed, between Eps. 53 and 54, or they can be easily accessed as a YouTube playlist at the button below.
