MARIANIST L.I.F.E. COMMUNITY (MLC)
 
Moderators:
Dr. Andrew Schmitt, Mr. Mike Massa, Mr. Keith Mug, Mr. Chris Shaver
 
Marianist LIFE (Living In Faith Experience) is a national faith-formation program rooted in Catholic and Marianist tradition and targeted to the needs of high school students. LIFE offers students an opportunity for fellowship and fun in a caring, upbeat context.
 
Student roles are vital to MLC at Chaminade:
  • 25 student leaders help to facilitate and coordinate meetings. (Often “side” or “organizational” meetings are held to help plan larger meetings.)
  • Student leaders invite “guests” (other students) to meetings.
Students meet every Friday at 7:10 for a mass or prayer service in the Immaculate Conception Chapel.
  • We gather for breakfast after each meeting.
  • Average meetings are about 50-70 students.
Students meet once a month on Saturdays (typically) for a meeting that goes from 3PM-5PM then attendance at 5PM Mass at Our Lady of Pillar Catholic Church.
 
In the Marianist tradition of hospitality after mass, dinner is provided and student leaders serve guests. The meal is taken seriously. Which is to say, these are catered, or prepared, meals rather than just ordering pizza.
 
Topics vary:
  • Family
  • Spirituality
  • Community
  • Respect for women
Average meetings are about 50-70 students.
 
Eligibility Requirements:
Student in grades 9-12 (member)
 
Middle School MLC is open to grades 6-8.
 
In order to be a “leader” in our MLC program students must attend the Pacific LIFE Week in Occidental CA. or the Central LIFE Week in Dayton OH.
