This special episode is a joint production between NACMS and the Marianist Social Justice Collaborative (MSJC) who is celebrating their 25th anniversary this year. This podcast is a recording of a Zoom conversation that took place between MSJC Director Sarah Gray and three people who were present at MSJC's foundation: Sr. Leanne Jablonski, FMI; Jim Vogt; and Fr. Ted Cassidy, SM. These three Marianists reflect on the origins of MSJC, its accomplishments over the years, and how it has been a model of collaboration in the Marianist Family.

In this episode, Patti and Gabby interview each other about their time at NACMS as they prepare to transition to new endeavors: retirement for Patti and PhD work for Gabby. Tune in to hear them share about highlights from their NACMS career, which Founder inspires them the most, and their future plans. But don't worry: Sharing Our Marianist Stories will continue!

In this episode of Sharing Our Marianist Stories, Gabby Bibeau sits down with Brother David Betz to talk about his role as the promoter of the Marianist Saints in the United States. They talk about who are the Marianist religious and lay people on the path to sainthood, the process of canonization, and the possibility of a US-born Marianist having their cause introduced.

Patti Gehred and Gabby Bibeau are excited to share this interview with Brother Andrew Kosmowski and Teresa Trimboli, who are the very talented (and very hard working!) librarians at NACMS. Listen to them talk about the history of the library, its importance for Marianist studies, and share some fun facts about rare items in the collection.

“Working for money every day is a job. Working every day to improve the lives of all people is a vocation,” says Albert E. Prendergast, sharing the wisdom of the Marianist Business Network. Al, a member of this Network, has developed “Marianist Prayers for Businesspeople,” a resource for those who strive to find God in their interpersonal relationships and workdays, including during business uncertainty, rejection, and success.

This podcast features a Scripture reading, reflection questions, and soothing music to lead you deeper into prayer on the Nativity.

In this episode of Sharing Our Marianist Stories, Patti Gehred and Gabby Bibeau share this interview with Fr. Quentin Hakenewerth that follows up on a previous podcast episode with Rob Brodrick, which heavily featured this quote by Fr. Quentin: "The quality of our presence is more important than our work." Fr. Quentin elaborates more on this quote in this episode, as well as touching on what Marianist presence is and how it is articulated by Fr. Chaminade.
