New Marist Laity Group in Hunters Hill Parishioners in Villa Maria, Hunters Hill, have spent a large part of this year discerning a way forward in creating a Marist Laity Group within the parish. This conversation has led to the formation not just of one but two groups. One for younger parish members and one is for those a little older.
A band of interested people gathered on June 13 in the parish hall, to discover or to rediscover, what it means to be Marist. A morning of prayer, input and discussion laws ed by Sr Vivienne Goldstein SM. Vivienne took us through the origin and history of the Marist project, exploring Jean-Claude Colin’s vision for a profoundly new way of being in the church and in the world. We were introduced to the founders of the four religious branches and became familiar with their world and its needs. Not surprisingly, we discovered many resonances between their world and ours. The Marist story and vision......to think, feel, judge and pray as Mary did, still has bearing today. | |
