I was blessed this summer to be able to spend a week walking in the footsteps of Fr. Champagnat at the Hermitage in France. What an amazing trip! I remember the first time I heard the stories of the dying Jean Baptiste Montagne, the Memorare in the Snow and the building of the Hermitage. To see the birth places of our Marist heritage was a breath taking and an inspiring journey that made these stories come to life. I strongly recommend this trip. A group from the United States will be returning to the Hermitage in the summer of 2014, so start saving now! 

 

Here in the USA, there were a few barbecues, an evening in Bryant Park and a camping trip in Esopus this summer. You can read more about these events below. If you were not able to join us for any of these events, I hope that you will take the opportunity to reconnect during the year. The Marist Young Adult Advisory Committee will be making sure that there are plenty of opportunities.
