“You must taste what you believe.” – Father Chaminade

In honor of their Founding Father, Blessed William Joseph Chaminade (April 8, 1761-Jan. 22, 1850), the Marianists of Casa María hosted a French-inspired prayer and dinner social on Tuesday night, Jan. 22, 2013, during Marianist Heritage Week. Nearly 50 St. Mary’s students, staff, faculty and friends got a taste of the French priest’s heritage by sampling franco-foods on his feast day, such as madeleines and mini eclairs. Fig Newton bibles were also served to represent Chaminade’s motto of “Vita en Verbo” (Life in the Word). Thanks to Bro. Mike Sullivan who prepared a feast for all. Bon Appétit!

Winter break is over and St. Mary’s is starting its spring semester on the birthdate of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. (Jan. 15, 2013). Casa María welcomed back to school nearly 50 students, staff, faculty and guests with sweets to satisfy the soul. MLK’s favorite dessert was pecan pie. Also served were a southern-style sweet potato pie and an assortment of cookies.

“The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character – that is the goal of true education.”
