Hi Marist Young Adults,
Happy Easter! Although the day has past we continue to celebrate the Easter season. To help you to remain reflective during this time, the Marist Young Adult program is sponsoring "Marist Minutes", a one minute daily reflection based on the Marist Spirituality document "Water from the Rock" that is available each day through Pentecost (June 12th). To access the "Marist Minutes", click here. To subscribe to receive the "Marist Minutes" daily, please click here.
While the Easter celebration often coincides with new life being born in spring, the late date and unseasonably warm weather in many parts of the country seem to have brought us directly to summer. Best wishes to all those who are in school, who are finishing up soon and are ready to begin the summer!
If you have any comments, questions, or ideas please email me at Matt@MaristYoungAdult.com.
Peace,
Matt Fallon
Chair, Marist Young Adult Advisory Committee
