Sending Them Forth

Another chapter in the dream of St. Marcellin closed last night as 307 seniors received their diplomas and crossed the threshold to the next phase in their educations.  They go forth as Marists, filled with a sense of belonging to a large family whose mission is to make Jesus known and loved. The graduation ceremony and the gathering afterwards testified that all understood and accepted this mission and are grateful for it.
Today members of the class of '65, celebrating their 50th anniversary will gather to give thanks for the years that have passed so swiftly since their graduation and to reflect on what effect their Marist Education had on their lives.
For all who read this slice of bread, let us be aware that we are not simply here by chance, but that we are a part of a specific plan God has for us.  The plan may not be what we thought it would be, but as we step back and look at it, we see that it turned out much better than what we thought would be best for us. Let us trust in and be grateful for the ways of the Lord.
Bro. Rene
