NEW NACMS Intern
The North
American Center for Marianist Studies (NACMS) is pleased to welcome
Michael Brennan as its newest intern. Michael began his work at the NACMS
Philadelphia office on September 2, 2008.
For the past two years, Michael has volunteered at the Institute of Integrated
Rural Development with Father William
Christensen, SM.
As a member of
the Center for Economic Social Justice, Michael became familiar with the
writings of Father William Ferree, SM, and was drawn to the Marianist
approach to eradicating poverty through education and development.
Through CESJ, he met Father Christensen in 2001.
His curiosity about Marianist life was increased after meeting two lay Marianists from St. Mary's University who were
visiting Bangladesh--Dr.
Larry Hufford, professor of political science and director of the
graduate international relations program, and Greg Pardo, an alumnus.
Michael has begun reading core texts on Marianist spirit and history and
will be taking virtual learning courses throughout the year. His
contributing project probably will focus on principles of the Founders
that guide Marianists involved
in service to others.
