On Saturday 12th December, Marist Sisters in Australia came together to celebrate a new beginning – the Design for Life for the Unit of Australia. The afternoon’s prayerful reflection began with the viewing of a video in which Sr Grace Ellul, Congregtional Leader, addressed all Marist Sisters reminding us that “we are called to live as Marist women embracing life in our tiny little corner of the universe…It is Mary’s work we have pledged ourselves to do and we trust our Good Mother to be with us as we journey forward in her Name.” During the final stages of the prayer Sr Cath Lacey, Unit Leader of Australia, presented each Sister with a copy of the Design for Life and also a copy of the General Statutes of our Congregation. Following the prayer there was a delicious afternoon tea and time for much talking and rejoicing.
