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 21:48:24 UTC https://padlet.com/williamsa90/5j9kfvlyt1lbe32s/wish/2260737630 Our Homeroom/Advisory read . . . williamsa90 https://padlet.com/williamsa90/5j9kfvlyt1lbe32s/wish/2260737631 1.

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.
