Jessica González Uhlig, the NACMS program administrator, continues her exploration of Marianist leadership by looking at the importance of the interior life for today’s leaders. She draws on examples from our Marianist Founders to illustrate “leadership that was rooted in deep prayer, community, and a vision larger than themselves.” Our Marianist Founders show us that “true leadership begins with the inner life—with cultivating virtues such as humility, courage, and fidelity to one’s values.”

"I'm still here, Matt." Those four words, spoken during a moment of profound challenge, changed everything for Matt Naveau. In this episode of Sharing Our Marianist Stories, Matt shares his deeply personal journey of encountering Adèle de Batz de Trenquelléon—not as a distant historical figure, but as a living companion through some of the most challenging years of his life.
