This workshop teaches ways to live the Marianist Charism in everyday experiences. It provides practical applications to deepen the expression of the Marianist Charism within a province-sponsored ministry. The workshop is designed for collaborators working in Marianist-sponsored schools and retreat centers.
Though challenges from the pandemic still exist, there was a hunger and openness to learning on the part of the participants.
This is a developmental opportunity to grow in understanding of the Marianist Charism with the intention of incorporating what participants learned into their personal and professional life and to assist them in the animation of the Marianist Charism in their ministry. The objectives are to:
- Learn to live the Marianist Charism in everyday experiences
- Deepen personal growth and discernment in their call to Marianist ministry
- Learn practical applications to deepen the expression of the Marianist Charism within your work
- Identify resources for support and set goals to further your growth after the workshop
The topics presented include:
- Mission and Ministry
- Understanding Charism
- Community
- Spirituality
