A quarterly workshop series for MLCs to learn and share best practices
This workshop explores time-tested practices and fresh approaches to animating Marianist Lay Communities. Participants will discover tools and strategies to foster vibrant, inclusive communities rooted in Marianist tradition while adapting to today’s evolving needs.
RegisterMLCs are called to animate inclusive, lifegiving communities in the church and world. They do this in many ways. Some MLCs have a common ministry of the community that everyone shares in. Others find intentional ways of supporting each other in their distinctive ways of living the mission. This workshop will feature a panel of MLC representatives to share what's worked for them and inspire conversation about new ideas and experiments.
RegisterLay Marianists make commitments, also known as acts of consecration, either annually or as a enduring commitment through the Vow of Stability. This workshop offers perspectives for individuals and communities to continue to discern the right option for them. Additionally, templates and best practices for community commitment ceremonies will be shared.
