 This project explores the potential benefits of incorporating regular family prayer sessions into weekly family life, using a unique approach that combines mindful colouring with Gospel reflection and discussion. The study aims to assess whether such practices can enhance the faith life of children and teenagers within participating families. By engaging in weekly prayer sessions that include contemporary music, colouring, Gospel reading, and discussion, the project seeks to foster deeper spiritual engagement and understanding among children and teenagers. This study also evaluates parental perceptions of their children's engagement levels before, during, and after these sessions, along with obstacles to prayer and insights gained by parents in facilitating these spiritual activities. | | | 21 April 2024

 This Lenten reflection offers a profound journey of awakening and transformation, prompted by a moment of realization in a grocery store that leads to a deeper awareness of global inequality and personal privilege. It uses statistics to illustrate the stark disparities in the world and personal anecdotes from literature to humanize these issues, highlighting the pervasive nature of poverty and the luxury of comfort enjoyed by a few. | | | 18 February 2024

 Simon Sinek's presentation, 'A Guide to Leadership,' explores the true essence and challenges of leadership. He emphasizes that leadership is not about being in charge but about taking care of those in our charge. Sinek points out that most people are trained to be good at their jobs, but there's a lack of training in how to lead others. This gap often results in managers who micromanage instead of true leaders. | | | 15 January 2024

 The “Marist Millennium Pledge” is a Formation tool which can use to help structure our discernment and way of living as Marists. Across a total of 12 months a person is invited to discern about ten things where God is calling them to follow Mary and Jesus. These commitments will take time to emerge. Over several months, through our own prayer life and our encounters with spiritual friends or Marists these pledges will begin to appear. | | | 15 October 2023

 “We gain control by letting go. We come to know by not knowing,” says Fr Michael Whelan SM ashe explains the power of listening within. Life, sooner or later - if we let it - leads us into the realisation that the more we know, the more we know we do not know. In other words, we experience the inexhaustible intelligibility of reality. This is what we call mystery. Life does have many problems that invite solutions. But life itself is not a problem. We should not look for solutions to life. Life is a mystery to be lived. As in life, there are many problems in the Church that invite solutions. But, as in life, the Church - our life together in Christ - is not a problem to be solved but a mystery to be lived. | | | 26 May 2023
 'Rabbit-Proof Fence' is a powerful and poignant true story set in Australia during the 1930s. It follows the journey of three young Aboriginal girls, Molly, Daisy, and Gracie, who are forcibly removed from their families by the Australian government as part of its policy to assimilate Indigenous children into white society. The girls are taken to a remote settlement, but determined to return home, they escape and embark on an incredible journey back to their families, using the vast rabbit-proof fence as their guide. The film highlights the resilience, strength, and indomitable spirit of these girls as they defy all odds and navigate the harsh landscape, facing numerous challenges and encounters along the way. Their story sheds light on the unjust treatment of Indigenous Australians and serves as a powerful testament to the unbreakable bond between mother and child and the enduring spirit of the Aboriginal people. | | | 14 May 2023

 Simon Sinek presents a simple but powerful model for how leaders inspire action, starting with a golden circle and the question 'Why?' His examples include Apple, Martin Luther King, and the Wright brothers -- and as a counterpoint Tivo, which (until a recent court victory that tripled its stock price) appeared to be struggling. | | | 23 January 2023
 If people are sitting on the floor, try to spend some time on the floor as well – try not to always be standing above them. It can be helpful to use a handout or projector at these times, that the focus is not you, but rather focus away from you. You are not the most important person in the room. | | | 07 June 2021
 God is working in each person. The Spirit of God is present. Even if I disagree in that person, I need to be open to what they are saying. What is the Trinity trying to say? How can I catch on to what the Trinity is saying? | | |
