This conference is offered two to three times each year for sophomores from Marist schools and affiliated ministries. The program seeks to highlight the many ways Marists live out our mission to “Make Jesus Known and Loved,” both around the world and within local school communities. Students are then invited to reflect on how they, too, are being called to mission and what that call might mean in their own lives.


Current school/job: Applying to medical school and working at Orangetheory Fitness in Brownsville, TX!
Which Marist pillar resonates most with you right now? Love of work. I feel blessed to be busy and to be able to serve others.
What excites you most about serving in Marist ministry this year? I love gathering with the Marist community, reuniting with friends from across the country, and seeing the same when kids from different schools are able to connect! I truly feel like I witness the Holy Spirit at work at every Marist event :)

Current school/job: Junior at Bryant University studying marketing.
Which Marist pillar resonates most with you right now? Presence and caring relationships. I have a lot of my roommates and friends at my school and back home that still keep up with me even though they go to school in Alabama. Having those people that text me everyday and see what I’m up to makes it easier to go out and enjoy my day.
