New Shared Conversations group on MarianistEncounters.org

Please join the Marianist Encounters' Shared Conversations group.

The Marianist Encounters website will offer a new discussion group called Shared Conversations starting on May 15, 2025.

This discussion group aims to foster ongoing conversations within the Marianist Family inspired by Pope Francis' Global Compact on Education and Laudato Si’ Action Platform.

All are welcome!  All members of the Marianist Family—lay and religious—across all Marianist ministries and communities are encouraged to post comments and respond to each other. 

Weekly reflection questions will be posted every Thursday. Click here to log into your account, then click on the Conversations tab, followed by the *Shared Conversations group.

Lay Marianist, Tony Garascia, and MEEC Program Coordinator, Tara Poling, will be the Group Animators.  Site administrator, Hazel Franco, will continue to provide overall support and can be reached at support@marianistencounters.org.

We hope you will actively participate in encouraging and informative discussions that will further the mission of the Marianist Family Encounters Project.

Prayer for Pope Leo XIV, who continues Pope Francis' legacy

Lord, source of eternal life and truth, give to your shepherd a spirit of courage and right judgment, a spirit of knowledge and love. By governing with fidelity those entrusted to his care, may he, as successor to the Apostle Peter and Vicar of Christ, build your Church into a sacrament of unity, love and peace for all the world. Amen.
