Casa Maria Marianists

Merry Christmas from Casa María!

As part of their visit this week to the Marianist Province of the U.S. in San Antonio, members of the Society of Mary General Administration spent a day visiting the Casa María Marianist Community Saturday, Dec. 6. Events of the day included morning Mass, brunch, meetings with individual brothers, vespers and dinner.

Rev. Andre Fetis, S.M., the assistant general for the Office of Religious Life, celebrated the morning Eucharist where a total of 19 Marianists from five different communities attended (the General Administration, Woodlawn Community, Holy Rosary Community, Salve Community and host Casa María).

In the evening, Rev. Tim Eden, S.M., led first vespers and Rev. Jim Tobin, S.M., prepared a dinner featuring baked salmon and two types of ice cream cake (banana split and cookies and cream) for dessert.

For the final Casa Tuesday of 2014, over 40 students, faculty, staff, Marianists and friends of the community gathered to celebrate Advent, study week, graduation and Christmas on Tuesday, Dec. 2. Fresh turkey soup and sandwiches—made from leftover Thanksgiving turkey—were featured on the menu that complemented the multi-themed decorations of Advent, graduation and Christmas! Casa Tuesdays will resume in 2015 when the semester begins Jan. 13.
