Dear LIFE Moderators:
 
This summer we are excited to host your school/parish at Marianist LIFE 2017. The Coordinating Teams have been meeting since the winter to prepare to minister with you. As you have noticed, we have moved to a digital registration platform, which will allow us to be more efficient in processing each student and moderator registration. Please see the links at the end of this email to access the adult registration form, student welcome letter, and student registration form. These links are also available online at www.marianist.com/life. Click on "Summer LIFE."

GUEST POLICY

Marianist LIFE does not allow Coordinating Team members' and/or Moderators' friends or family members to visit. Guests, family and friends are encouraged to attend the Marianist Family Gathering during Moderators Days. You will receive information from the Coordinating team soon.

MODERATOR DAY ATTENDANCE POLICY
The purpose of Marianist LIFE Moderator Days is:
  • To model the very essence and mission of Marianist LIFE by building small communities of faith prior to the students' arrivals
  • To participate in faith formation experiences that help create healthy small faith communities for high school students to model throughout their LIFE week experience
  • As a first-time moderator, to become familiar with Marianist LIFE and the various components, materials and activities that take place throughout the program
  • As a returning moderator, to be notified of any program changes, to assist first-time moderators, and to continue building community
