Novena Card.
Top inside verse: The angel said unto them, "Do not be afraid; for, behold, I proclaim to you good tidings of great joy, that will be for all people. For today in the city of David a Savior has been born for you who is Messiah and Lord."
You will be remembered in a special Marianist Novena of Masses at Christmas and New Year's and at daily Mass throughout the New Year.
Bottom inside verse: In the stillness of a simple manger the cry of a newborn child announced the dawn of Christ's love on Earth.
Back of the card: The Marianist Family is comprised of the Daughters of Mary Immaculate (Marianist Sisters), the Society of Mary (Marianist brothers and priests) and Lay Marianists. Marianists are especially dedicated to uplifting people through education but also serve in other types of ministries worldwide.
The Marianists were founded nearly 200 years ago in France at the end of the French Revolution by Blessed William Joseph Chaminade. He saw in Mary, the Mother of Christ, a model for discipleship that can show us how to welcome the Spirit of God into our own lives.
Supporters of the Marianist Mission's ministry make possible our foreign and domestic ministries, enable the training of Marianist novices and seminarians, and provide care for our elderly and infirm Marianists.
