Resources for the Feast of St Marcellin Champagnat 6 June

Late last week schools should have received the prayer cards they ordered as well as a complimentary purpose-made video to assist in celebrating the 2012 Feast of St Marcellin Champagnat.  The disc contains several formats of the video as well as suggestions for some spoken content for an address in a whole school assembly or pre-eucharist setting contained in an interactive PDF.  You'll also find this PDF as well as all the other resources at Champagnat Week Resources page.  The video will be available on YouTube searchable using the keywords "maristaus young 2012".  And how about jumping onto twitter (establishing an account is easy) and making a comment about the video once you've seen it by searching #maristaus or looking up @MaristAustralia. 

Living Champagnat's Vision

The Central Desert is a far cry from the rambling hills of France where Champagnat began his project. A desert experience where one can touch into one’s own heart I am sure was not envisaged in his visioning!

Exploring how the desert nourishes the soul as it has many generations before us is the journey to the heart, a desert experience, with its stark beauty, harsh environs, allure and mystique speaks of God’s spirit alive and well! Contemplating on our ‘desert’ experience, the Marist world in context of the desert culture and history, will call participants to enter into this journey to the Heart and learn how to integrate this experience into their local ministry!

Limited places are still available in this Programme.
