Explores the nature of our busy life, yet our
need to find something within our lives which
speaks to us of a deeper meaning of who we
are.
Is there a deeper side to living?
Where is God?

which attracts you?
Where is God

the right places?

first Marists chose to risk everything for a
greater call.
Marist Dream Today
In our busy world we are called to be Marist.
What does this mean for lay people today?
