Basic	Podcast: Story of a Friendship (Mother Adèle and Jeanne Diché) This episode is a re-creation--through fictionalized letters--of Adele's relationship and collaboration with her best friend, Jeanne Diché. Jeanne was also an important support to the Marianist Sisters in their early foundation years. Listen to how their friendship unfolds, even as they choose different vocations: religious life for Adele, and marriage and motherhood for Jeanne.
Basic	Podcast: Brother and Sister in the Marianist Family (Fr. Dave Fleming, SM and Marceta Reilly) Marceta Reilly and Father Dave Fleming, S.M. are very active members of the Marianist Family. They are also siblings. Fr. Dave left home to join the Society of Mary when Marceta was eight years old, and although Marceta came to know the Marianists through her older brother, she made the charism her own by forming lay communities in the rural Kansas town where she lives. She has also been an active member of Our Lady of the Round Table, which is an international online lay Marianist community. In this podcast, they interview each other about some of their experiences in the Marianist Family and their insights into the charism.
Basic	Podcast: Following Mary's Yes in the Inner City (Mike and Beth Schulz) Lay Marianists Mike and Beth Schulz share their story about graduating from the University of Dayton and founding the Nassau Lay Marianist Community on the urban East side of Dayton. The Nassau Community was inspired by the Marianist charism and the Catholic Worker Movement as a living community that would build relationships with the urban poor. This community would eventually start Mission of Mary Cooperative, which is a non-profit urban farm in East Dayton that also provides fresh food to low-income families. According to Mike and Beth, this entire project drew its inspiration from Mary's "Yes."
Basic	Podcast: The First Lay Assembly (Marge Cavanaugh and Tony Garascia) The inaugural episode of Sharing Our Marianist Stories includes a conversation between Marge Cavanaugh and Anthony Garascia regarding the first Marianist Lay Assembly in North America and the rapid growth and changes that occurred throughout the 1990s. (Recorded on July 15, 2017 - MLC-NA Assembly, University of Dayton, Kennedy Union)
	Marianist Library Classification The Marianist Library Classification is an aid to those who want to organize a collection of materials concerning all aspects of Marianist life and spirituality. In their application, the present schedules gather and organize Marianist works by subject, and are designed to follow Library of Congress cataloging practices and procedures.
Basic	Marianist Subject Headings These headings are based on the Library of Congress’s Subject Headings (LCSH) and, in several instances, replicate LCSH and its governing rules.
