Everyone will answer the "Living the Marist Way" questions.

As a homeroom, discuss each question together. As a student, choose at least one question to reflect on and answer completely in the comment field about how your book connects with the Marist Way.]]> 2022-08-14 21:33:59 UTC https://padlet.com/williamsa90/2515zfm85ok1uvyx/wish/2260734390 Our Homeroom/Advisory read . . . williamsa90 https://padlet.com/williamsa90/2515zfm85ok1uvyx/wish/2260734391 1.

  • How do you describe your relationship with God -- or describe ways that you are still searching for God?  Or helping others search for God?  How did your summer reading help you in this search? 
]]> 2022-08-14 21:33:59 UTC https://padlet.com/williamsa90/2515zfm85ok1uvyx/wish/2260734395 Prologue by Mr. Coveny, Marist Way Director williamsa90 https://padlet.com/williamsa90/2515zfm85ok1uvyx/wish/2260734396 While attending Marist School, we are called, and we seek to place God in the center of our lives.

To live a Marist life or share a Marist Way, we say that we strive to follow God…as Mary did.

Mary followed God in a certain way.

Though we do not know all that Mary did, the way we think Mary lived her life and went about her work inspires us. The Marist priests call this “Mary’s work.” 

We believe that at the heart of Mary’s work is an openness to all people, excludes no one, and is designed to enable men and women to grow and develop according to their call.
