Connecting for Belonging

isolation but
hungers for a
connection; to feel
part of a
community.

Marist mission

to ask their questions

happy Marist

network
• I speak as one who has specific interests and
experiences
Who is my audience?

http://www.johnmcmahon.id.au
• Marists from Australia and other countries
who seem to find me
• People interested in Catholicism, Marist life
and mission, education, leadership and
networking
How do I handle unexpected
responses?
• I try to be respectful

• I try to be honest
• I refer people to others if required

”My Year 10 Christian Leadership students
have recently been reflecting on your
#maristsimplicity quotes, as we prepare to
deliver a Yr 8 Brothers Together program on
this pillar of Marist Spirituality. We also like
the quote "live simply, so others may simply
live".”
