Community Meeting Kits

Welcome to Marianist Community Meeting Kits. These kits include all you need for a community meeting on a Marianist topic: an opening prayer, program material (articles, podcasts, videos), reflection questions, and a final blessing.

Here is a suggested timetable for an hour-long community meeting. Feel free to adapt for a longer meeting.

10 minutes – welcoming and opening prayer
20 minutes – review materials
15 minutes – discuss reflection questions in pairs or small groups
10 minutes – gather in large group to share
5 minutes – closing prayer

More kits will be added as they become available, so check back often. Click on any of the titles below to access and download PDFs of these kits. Enjoy!
