The September edition of The Marist Way Australia newsletter highlights the group’s new identity, shifting from Marist Laity Australia to better reflect a global Marist vision of living the Gospel in the spirit of Mary. It shares reports on the Fourvière celebrations in Hunters Hill, monthly gatherings at St Patrick’s Church Hill to sustain Marist life after the Fathers’ departure, and upcoming events such as the Seasons of Creation gathering. The newsletter also includes prayers for peace, reflections on the Marist Fathers’ 157 years of service at St Patrick’s, stories of hospitality with Congolese refugee families, and a moving account of a Men’s Rite of Passage retreat. It closes with a personal reflection on returning to Davao, Philippines, where encounters with children in poverty profoundly deepened a sense of faith, gratitude, and connection.
