Success!

Note:  Thanks to a colleague in Campus Ministry who told me how to do this...here is a photo of the impressive new St. Marcellin High School in Bangladesh.  Our Marist work there has taken a huge step thanks to the help of many people who believe in the Marist Way of Education. In vain, however is my attempt to post the photo of the Spartan Runners.  A goal for the near future.

Being able to post this image is just a small example of determination, trust, teamwork, and know-how. Beyond this is the effort to bring this school to a reality...A need, a dream, a plan, action.  All went into this project several years ago.   A huge effort to raise the funds for it ensued and, it seems, many people responded in big and small ways to bring St. Marcellin to completion.  Now the dream continues as equipment will be needed to furnish the classrooms and labs.  It will come to pass.

Almost 200 years ago, St. Marcellin saw a need, had a vision and came up with a plan to educate neglected youth in the faith as well as in secular subjects.  A huge, and sometimes painful effort to bring this plan into reality followed, and continues to this day in the 79 countries where Marist Brothers along with Lay Marists teach and work with youth.  Success follows upon success.  The 200th anniversary of the founding of the Little Brothers of Mary in 2017 is stirring up strong interest and action around the world to revivify the congregation and strengthen it to be able to meet today's challenges as well as to continue spreading its mission to more people.  As you look at this photo, be assured that what has begun in seed will yield a richer and richer harvest.
