A month into the school year, already busy and stressful, local Marists of Champagnat in Brownsville, TX, gathered at the House of Hospitality for a much needed moment of prayer and fellowship. The prayer, led by Eric Gonzales and Leatrice Bradford, focused on finding Marist qualities in people from outside of our SJA or Marist communities. This gave all much to reflect on the valuable truths within the pedagogy and spirit of Champagnat as we witness that non-Marist individuals can express our Marist virtues.
