I clearly remember the day in 1985 when I gathered with my eighth-grade classmates for our confirmation retreat at the historic Sacred Heart Chapel in Bowie, Maryland. I remember receiving a letter I received from my older brother Michael, my confirmation sponsor, encouraging me to grow in my relationship with God and to embrace my responsibility as a Christian to serve the common good.

A popular saying within the Marianist Family is, "Community is a gift and a task." For Marianists, whose charism and spirituality are influenced by the Benedictine Rule, community is primary in our way of life. Community is a gift for each of us in the family — the Marianist Lay Communities, the secular institute Alliance Mariale, Marianist sisters (Daughters of Mary Immaculate), and the Marianist brothers and priests (the Society of Mary). Community is also our gift to the church and the world.
