"Do whatever Hetells you."
Prayer is the bedrock of our consecrated life as Marianists. The Psalms establish the rhythm of each day as we gather every morning, evening, and night to join the universal Church in praying the Liturgy of the Hours.
Our Founder, Blessed William Joseph Chaminade, was convinced that "the essential is the interior." Mindful of the primacy of prayer in our Marianist life, we devote an hour each day to personal meditation. Frequent Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament and the recitation of the Rosary draw us closer to Christ and His Blessed Mother.
The life and mission of our community find their source and summit in our daily celebration of the Eucharist. In word and sacrament, we encounter Jesus Christ, who offers His Body and Blood for our salvation and the salvation of the world. There is no greater grace in our lives.
