GOOD MARKETING IS GOOD MINISTRY AT MEC WORKSHOP

At MEC, Bro. John Habjan (assistant director of education), Bro. Ed Brink (director of education) and George Lisjak (director of the Marianist Educational Studies and Partnership)

The Province Office of Education hosted nearly 60 administrators, teachers, and admissions, development and communications staff at the 22nd annual MEC (Marianist Education Consortium) workshop July 24 to July 27 at the University of Dayton. The gathering focused on marketing and marketing communications. Provincial Stephen Glodek gave the keynote address on “Marketing the Marianist Project.” Other presenters included Bill Raddell, a religion teacher from Villa Angela-St. Joseph in Cleveland, Jim Adams, president of Chaminade College Preparatory in West Hills, Calif., Irene Dickey, marketing professor at the University of Dayton, and Diane Guerra, director of the Marianist Office of Communications in St. Louis. Fr. Paul Marshall, rector of the University of Dayton, gave an opening blessing and presided at Mass on Sunday. “The workshop helped those most responsible for marketing our schools to focus the central position of our mission in their marketing efforts,” said George Lisjak, lead organizer of the workshop. Bro. Ed Brink, director of education, said the gathering provided an opportunity for Marianist-sponsored schools to share ideas and best practices. “To differentiate our schools from other choices, we need to become better at telling people about the Marianist tradition of education. The workshop was a step in that direction,” he said.

Clockwise from top, Bro. Ed Brink, Mike Loyet (St. John Vianney), Fr. Mitch Doyen (St. Mary’s High School) and Steve Vincent (Chaminade College Prep, St. Louis); Joy Bouey (Chaminade University), Maria Injic (VASJ) and Beth Zilch (Archbishop Moeller); Bro.

“IF YOU COME TO A FORK IN THE ROAD TO EGYPT … TAKE IT”

Yogi Berra

Fr. Richard

When Fr. Richard O’Shaughnessy (Marianist Residence, San Antonio) was a student at South Side Catholic High School (now St. Mary’s High School) in St. Louis, he taught catechism at St. Ambrose parish on “The Hill,” St. Louis’ famous Italian-American area. One of Richard’s students was six-year-old Lawrence “Yogi” Berra, the celebrated Yankees baseball player. After telling the children the story of Mary and Jesus fleeing to Egypt to escape from Herod, Richard asked Yogi to perform a “Show & Tell” of the story. Little Yogi walked to an imaginary “airplane,” and told Mary to hold Jesus tight because they were flying to Egypt. He fluttered his wings a few times and sat down. Then opened the “airplane” door and said, “Here you are, Mary, safe in Egypt.”
