As supporters of our work here at the Marianist Mission, you are such a useful part of our big operation that centers around caring about people. By caring about what we're doing, you help in so very many ways. Listen to how Father Gene describes this in the latest episode by clicking below.

Father Gene's Full Homily
Loneliness touches everyone at times, but it doesn’t have to have the final word. Father Gene reflects on how purposeful gathering—small, intentional moments of connection—can grow into real community, offering space to listen, share, laugh, and walk through life together.
Some lessons arrive softly, reminding us that caring for others begins with caring for ourselves. Father Gene shares why creating sacred space for “me” isn’t selfish—it’s essential—and how learning to say “I can’t” can become an act of love.
