LEE, Sebastian Intl. Rep for Korea

There are 15 Marianist Lay Communities in Seoul. Each community has Mass and meets once a month. All communities hold joint meetings once or twice a year, using 2-3 different groups each time. We had a joint meeting in June this year. After Mass, we usually introduce activities, members, and hold a small party. It is a good opportunity to learn about others' projects and it promotes friendly relations. Each community also has a retreat or MT (Membership Training) at least once a year.

Seoul MLCs have done Cinema & Talk on the 4^th Sunday every month for the past three years. For this program, we watch a movie and talk together. We watch various movies, both religious and non-religious in nature. Though we have many chances to watch movies nowadays, it is meaningful to watch them together and share perspectives. By communicating our impressions and experiences, we learn new things and members form a stronger bond. We also have precious time to heal ourselves by sharing our feelings and troubles.                                               Submitted by LEE, Jin Bong (Sebastian)
