The Marianist Student Formation is an invitation to explore an individual’s role as a member of the Marianist Family. It is designed to assist individuals in discerning a commitment as a lay Marianist. This program takes place during one semester of the academic year with a combination of conversations, personal reflection and prayer, weekly meetings, readings, interviews, and a retreat experience.

 Persons who are interested in further explorations will:

• Participate in the Marianist mission through Marianist educational opportunities, i.e., Marianist Fellows, discernment opportunities, Marianist Student Communities, Marianist Leadership Scholars, SGA.
• Commit to weekly meetings and participate in the Formation retreat
• Form and participate in Marianist communities
• Continue to be engaged in the Marianist Family through community life
• Understand that the program is one part of a life long formation process

As Lay Marianists, we are committed to bring Christ into the world as Mary did, employing faith of the heart and ascent of the mind. We strive to be agents of change by giving witness to Christ’s message through building community in the Church and Society. As members of one Marianist Family, together with the members of the Society of Mary and Daughters of Mary Immaculate, we seek to be open to the Spirit, to stand against injustice, and to proclaim a message of liberation and hope.
