  • Brother and Sister in the Marianist Family: Fr. Dave Fleming, SM and Marceta Reilly

    Marceta Reilly and Father Dave Fleming, S.M. are very active members of the Marianist Family. They are also siblings. Fr. Dave left home to join the Society of Mary when Marceta was eight years old, and although Marceta came to know the Marianists through her older brother, she made the charism her own by forming lay communities in the rural Kansas town where she lives. She has also been an active member of Our Lady of the Round Table, which is an international online lay Marianist community. In this podcast, they interview each other about some of their experiences in the Marianist Family and their insights into the charism.

  • Following Mary's Yes in the Inner City: Mike and Beth Schulz's Story

    Lay Marianists Mike and Beth Schulz share their story about graduating from the University of Dayton and founding the Nassau Lay Marianist Community on the urban East side of Dayton. The Nassau Community was inspired by the Marianist charism and the Catholic Worker Movement as a living community that would build relationships with the urban poor. This community would eventually start Mission of Mary Cooperative, which is a non-profit urban farm in East Dayton that also provides fresh food to low-income families. According to Mike and Beth, this entire project drew its inspiration from Mary's "Yes."
