Our New Web Site

Web site front page

The new Web site, Marist Laity Australia (www.maristlaityaustralia.com), was launched in December 2005. It is designed as a resource and a communications tool for all Marists. It has received many positive comments. Including:

  1. "How exciting!".
  2. "These are wondrous noises from the bush across the Tasman at the new website".
  3. "We admire your web site, it will keep us in close touch with you when we are so far away".
These are delightful comments. But you must ask the question, why? If you look at the new site, right now, you need to go to www.maristlaityaustralia.com to look at it; you will find the words "Inclusiveness", "Flexibility" and "Simplicity" on all Web pages. These words make up the flavour for the Web site.

The Marist Laity Australia Web site has many sections that you may find useful. Including:

Now it is your turn to play a part. For us to be effective, we must grow the site by both inspiring and informing people to be Marist. The Marist Laity Web site needs to be a reflection of the Marist Laity Australian organisation. All parts. No matter how small. I encourage you to click on, and to fill in our "suggestion box". Maybe you can suggest how the site can become a regular part of your weekly Web surfing, what are we missing, or provide us with information about resources about your local Marist family.

The Web site will never replace a good phone call or visit by a friend, but it can inspire people to communicate in a new dimension. The future is not about dazzling technology, but about people who live out the Marist dream and who do something about it.

God Bless.
