A new chapter
The Provincial Chapter of the Marianist 
Province of the United States met March 
5-9 at Marianist Retreat & Conference 
Center in Wildwood, Missouri, gathering 
for the first time with the incoming pro­
vincial leadership.  
   While the days were filled with discus­
sions, reports, and committee work, the 
Brothers also made time to gather (right) 
for a daily celebration of the Eucharist in 
the chapel designed by late Brother Mel 
Meyer, SM.
