Marianist History Course for Novices
As part of their first-year in the Novitiate with the Society of Mary or Daughters of Mary Immaculate, Novices participate in our year-long Marianist History Course for Novices. This course meets bi-weekly for the duration of the academic year and is facilitated by NACMS staff. Course content begins with the French School of Spirituality and Pre-Revolutionary France, continues through Fr. Chaminade's last years, and concludes with an exploration of the international expansion current contexts within the Marianist Family.
Marianist Specialist-in-Training Program
Our Marianist Specialist-in-Training Program provides vowed Marianists with a year-long intensive study where they analyze Marianist History, develop a familiarity with key sources used in Marianist Studies, prepare and deliver presentations, observe and engage with program development, and interact with the Marianist Family in a variety of settings. Our NACMS staff, in conjunction with the University of Dayton, facilitates classes, conversations, presentations, research guidance, and mentoring for the participants in this research program.
Our current Marianist Specialists-in-Training: Fr. Renny Markose, SM (Region of India), Bro. Erick Otiende, SM (Region of Eastern Africa), and Fr. Bosco Shin, SM (Region of Korea).
