  • How has your summer reading inspired you to reach out?  Reflect on a few ways that you have done this over the summer.

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 19:44:04 UTC https://padlet.com/williamsa90/aj0lnnk96f8ibz40/wish/2260708866 Our Homeroom/Advisory read . . . williamsa90 https://padlet.com/williamsa90/aj0lnnk96f8ibz40/wish/2260708868 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.

Following Mary’s practice of being inclusive in our communities, I can express mercy and compassion to my classmates this school year by closely bonding with my friends, accepting their differences, and supporting them during their times of need. ]]> 2022-09-01 03:35:00 UTC https://padlet.com/williamsa90/aj0lnnk96f8ibz40/wish/2278697041 Alec Issa https://padlet.com/williamsa90/aj0lnnk96f8ibz40/wish/2278697466 I affirm myself as a Catholic believer of God, and I do my best to follow/apply Catholic teachings in my society. I feel the Lord’s presence in my life through daily prayer and by attending Catholic masses. After reading Tribe, I learned about the tight bonds that we innately form with our communities, and I became motivated to strengthen these relationships with my classmates/teachers at school and with my parents at home by being inclusive wherever I am.
