Marian Lecture 2026 - Dare to Imagine a New Life Shaped by Grace

On 12 May from 6.00pm to 7.30pm AEDT, this year’s Marist Association Marian Lecture will take place at Southern Cross Catholic College in Burwood, Sydney. This public lecture will be online and in-person at Southern Cross and will explore the transformative power of grace. The event will be moderated by renowned journalist Geraldine Doogue AO, who will guide an engaging conversation with Rev. Dr Sarah Bachelard, a respected theologian, author, and leader in contemplative practice.

Together, they will delve into how grace shapes the way we see, relate to, and respond to the world - an invitation to slow down, reflect, and deepen our spiritual awareness. The lecture is open to all and can be attended virtually.

To participate, register online. If you are a member of a Local Group that will meet together for the evening, please also register individually.

Leading with a Marist Heart

Stuart McClorey shares a reflection on a recent Student Leaders Gathering, writing, “To live in the way of Mary is to face questions with the same trust, courage, and openness that Mary showed…to listen to our hearts, to say ‘yes’ even when the path ahead is uncertain.”
