Have an iPhone? Want to pray? iTunes has made available several applications to assist with the spiritual life. These new applications allow people to access Mass prayers, Catholic calendars, and the rosary.
You might not think of Twitter as a place to find spiritual assistance or theological input but many religious publications such as USCatholic are now on Twitter. |

 Fourteen young adults from Roselle Catholic, Marist HS -Bayonne, St. Agnes Boys HS and Mount St. Michael Academy participated in training programs for future encounter leaders held in New Jersey and New York. Young adult program members Lauren Lenzo, Katie Murphy, Matt Murphy and Mike Sweeney helped the participants to examine effective leadership techniques and group dynamics. Young adult program chair Matt Fallon introduced the participants to ice breakers and games, including an Encounter favorite, Big Booty. The participants were also able to practice and receive feedback about talks they prepared. | |

Student - Marquette University
Graduate-
How did you get involved with Marist?
I attended Marist High School in Chicago, along with my two brothers. I really enjoyed my experience there, and I saw this group as a way to be even more involved with the Marist world. Even though I am not able to participate in most of the events, I still enjoy being updated on what is going on with the group.
How do you live out your Marist identity now?
As a young adult, I try to be the most genuine person I can be. Also, I am a firm believer in treating others the way that I want to be treated and that is with respect. Over the summer, I work as a little league umpire, and help out in my father's dental office. I am a pre-dental student at Marquette University, majoring in Biomedical Sciences. I plan on becoming a dentist and helping people every day whether it is helping them feel better about their smile or just helping them feel happier about their day
