Cohort 5 Commitment Ceremony

June 10, 2025

The Cohort 5 Commitment ceremony was held hybrid-style this year, with participants joining via Zoom or taking part in various in-person ceremonies across the USA Province on Sunday, June 8. Twenty-five members of Cohort 5 made their commitment to "making Jesus known and loved.” A special thanks to those who coordinated the local gatherings (Chris Sullivan, Cristina Cruz, Mary Beth Martin, Julie Ferrari, and Erin Kelly) and to all who helped them. Another thank you to Ellen Salmi VanCleef and her formation committee for putting together such a beautiful prayer. This group joins the 173 Lay Marists and all of the Brothers of the USA Province who are currently Marists of Champagnat. The Spirit is at work here in the US! Our Marial energy is much needed in ourworld...let us continue to pray for each other.
