Where to with this blog?
Wednesday, October 14, 2009 at 6:20AM This blog has been functioning for six months. We have been encouraged by your feedback and hope the site will grow to be useful for as many people as possible.
At our last General Chapter, the Marist Brothers recognised that all those who feel a commitment to the charism of Marcellin Champagnat, can consider themselves 'Champagnat Marists'. Hence this 'social networking site' provides an opportunity for all of us, Lay person, Brother, friend or colleague, to share our experience of being a 'Champagnat Marist'.
We want this blog to be as 'user friendly' as possible and enable effective communication between us all. We invite you to click on 'Post a Comment' below or go to the 'Contact Us' page of this blog to send an email, to suggest ways we might achieve such participation.

John I enjoy clicking into your blog quite often. I feel privileged that " Drusilla" gets a guernsey in your links. That is a positive way of broadcasting our efforts to keep in touch with the Brothers, confreres and families who are interested in "Drusilla" at Macedon. Thank you John. There are some restrictions eg the positioning of photos using the Google sponsored Blog template I am using. Also it is great to have direct access to the Marist Newsletter through the Melbourne Province link.

I enjoyed your blog very much. It gives me a useful overview of the multitude of educational activitiies you are involved in as well as being very informative about the international dimension of the Marist Brothers. It also provides a wealth of useful information about the life and influence of Champagnat - something I have become interested in recently.
It is reassuring to know that you are continuing the tradition of the first Marists who travelled to Oceania by keeping others well informed about their life and work.
Best wishes,
Ciaran Clerkin

A note to let you know that my article ' Good Christians and good citizens : the early years of Marist education in Oceania: 1830s - 1900s' is scheduled for publication in International Studies in Catholic Education(Taylor and Francis) in March 2010 (Vol.2 No 1)

Congratulations Ciaran! It is good to see your hard work being rewarded. May many readers enjoy reading your perceptive analysis of Marist Education in Oceania during this period. It is from this base, afterall, a foundation that you describe so eloquently, that so many Marist Brothers and lay Marists continue their Marist mission in Oceania today.
