Oh wow!! That’s so awesome!

Only a few spots remain for the anticipated Spring 2025 pilgrimage to Portugal with Fr. Tim Kenney.

The trip includes three nights in Lisbon at the Hotel Tivoli Avenida Liberdade Lisboa as well as a seven-night Douro River cruise on the new ship, Avalon Alegria, built in 2024. This opportunity includes daily mass offered by Fr. Tim Kenney, lodging, many meals, all ground transportation in a private motorcoach, an English-speaking guide, and the priceless opportunity to learn more about your faith and the work of the Marianists.

The group will see beautiful churches and monasteries in Portugal centered on a visit to the Fatima shrine with its Chapel of the Apparitions where Our Blessed Mother first appeared on May 13, 1917. Other stops to experience the neoclassical basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary and pray at the tombs of St. Francisco, St. Jacinta and Sister Lucia provide abundant opportunities to deepen your relationship with God. Travelers on this pilgrimage will experience the beauty and culture of Portugal. They'll visit the capital city of Lisbon and indulge in traditional Portuguese food and wine, Old-World architecture and learn about traditions and history before embarking on the cruise from Porto, the "City of Bridges" and gateway to the Douro River Valley, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

There will be ample opportunity for relaxation, meditation, reflection and personal prayer as well as numerous optional excursions along this beautiful river punctuated by quaint villages and acres of vineyards.

If you'd like to learn more about this wonderful opportunity to visit Fatima and Lisbon and take a Douro River cruise through Portugal, visit Marianist Mission's information sheet online. marianistmission.marianist.com/v/vspfiles/photos/Pilgrimage2025.pdf

This trip will be a sell out, so please don't delay if you think you might be interested. Contact Kathy Cooper with questions at 314-338-7216. Tim Kenney Marianist Mission #pilgrimage #Fatima

Looks like an amazing trip!!

When we say family, we mean FAMILY.

Once you are part of a #Marianist school, you are part of a community for life, no matter where that journey takes you.

We are proud of all of our students and when they shine, we cheer them on with a fierce agape love. Now, with these two former students of Chaminade College Preparatory School St. Louis - one officially an #NBA champion Jayson Tatum and one in the race for the Stanley Cup, Matthew Tkachuk, the whole #MarianistFamily is proud of their accomplishments.

But even more than their excellence on the court and on the ice, these men are known to be kind servants who share their gifts joyfully with the world and work to lift up others.

That's the Marianist way. Go get 'em boys! #EstoVir #Panthers #stanleycup #Celtics #NBAChampionship #jaysontatum #matthewtkachuk #marianisteducation

Before Marianist brothers could serve others, we learned from the best…our dads. You taught us what it means to love others well and to serve the family.

Thank you, dad. The lessons you taught continue to bear fruit as we share the love you gave us with the world.

Happy Fathers Day to all of our dads on earth and in Heaven, all of the fathers striving each day to teach and love their children and all of the spiritual fathers in the Marianist family.

Share a picture of your dad in the comments or a special memory and we will remember him in our prayers.

This is me with my dad, lost him when I was 13, miss him so much every day but especially on Father’s Day

My best buddy and the best Dad ever…Miss him beyond measure!🥰

My father was "abz," but he was "Andrew Benjamin Zampier." My mother did not like the name Benjamin, so she said if their expecting child was a boy, he could name him. My father went through a name book, came to the B's, and said, "How about Brian?" She liked it. I am named after my father, but called Brian, making me "abz, the second."

Born into privilege in war-torn France, Blessed Adele de Batz Trenquelleon shunned material comfort and chose to serve God in the most radical of ways.

Today, June 10, her birthday and the anniversary of her beatification in 2018, we celebrate her decision to cast her lot with the poor and vulnerable.

Above all, Adele chose love. ❤️

As one of the three founders of the Marianist family, along with William Joseph Chaminade and Marie Therese de Lamourous, we strive to follow her example of hospitality, simplicity, justice and attentiveness to God.

Share this message to spread Adele's love for God with the world!
