Br Darren Burge, Provincial of Star of the Sea and Leader of the Marist Association, will guide participants through a practical and reflective journey into the art of accompaniment. Across the three sessions, he will create a space for deep listening, shared experience, and spiritual conversation at the heart of our call as a Marist family in the Church. Participants will be supported to grow in their confidence and capacity to walk alongside others in their journey of faith.

Journeying together to deepen faith, leadership, and connection!

We encourage 2–3 members from each Marist Association Local Group to register and participate. Please register HERE

The program will be run online via Zoom over 3 sessions:

Tuesday 4 August - 7.00- 8.15pm (AEST)
Tuesday 18 August - 7.00- 8.15pm (AEST)
Tuesday 1 September - 7.00- 8.15pm (AEST)

Have you had a chance to explore Pope Leo XIV’s encyclical Magnifica Humanitas? More importantly, what might its message about human dignity, wisdom, and purpose mean for us as Catholic educators navigating an age increasingly shaped by artificial intelligence?

The Ashgrove Marist Association warmly invites you to join us for a relaxed Cheese & Chat gathering as we unpack some of the key themes of Magnifica Humanitas and consider how its insights can inform our work, relationships, and mission as educators in a Catholic community.

Date: Tuesday, 28 July
Location: Room 801
Gather: 3:20 pm
Discussion: 3:30 pm – 4:30 pm
Complimentary nibbles provided

RSVP: by Friday 24 July, 9 am via THIS LINK

Whether you've read the encyclical cover to cover, skimmed a summary, or are simply curious about the conversation, all are welcome. This will be an informal opportunity to share ideas, ask questions, and reflect together on what it means to be authentically human—and authentically Catholic—in an AI-driven world.

As an added bonus, participation in this discussion can be counted towards your RE Professional Development time.

Come for the cheese, stay for the conversation!

We hope to see you there.

All Marists are warmly invited to join us on Sunday, 26 July 2026, as we celebrate this significant anniversary and give thanks for the gift of the Marist vocation and charism.
