Casa Maria Marianists

With three new members joining the community and a late-summer renovation of the kitchen, the brothers of Casa María began a new look to the new year together in typical Marianist fashion–praying, planning and dining.

In the community chapel, Mass of the 21st Sunday was celebrated in the morning; evening prayer featured the official rite of acceptance into the community for Mark Motz, Marianist aspirant, to coincide with the observance of the Queenship of Mary on Sunday, Aug. 22.

A celebratory dinner at La Fogata concluded the day’s events of reflection and planning for the upcoming year.
