The Blessed Virgin Mary holds a special place in every Paulinian’s heart. As our spiritual Mother, she walks quietly with us guiding, comforting, and inspiring us through her unwavering trust in God’s plan. As we approach the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception on December 8, we are invited to reflect on Mary’s Fiat, her courageous “yes” to God. In her surrender, we discover a hope that does not disappoint, a hope rooted not in certainty but in love. Her life encourages us to say our own daily “yes”: yes to God’s grace, yes to compassion, yes to the quiet courage faith asks of us.

We warmly invite the Paulinian community to our Marian Camp 2025 with the theme: “Mary’s Fiat, Our Inspiration to Hope” on December 5, starting at 3:30 PM. The afternoon will be a journey of prayer, reflection, and fellowship: gathering at the SPUD Ballfield, a talk at the University Chapel, a movie viewing at FLCH, praise and worship at Open Hall, culminating in the Eucharistic Celebration at 5:45 PM at the Ballfield. We will end with the Opening of Lights and Agape at the Façade, sharing food, fellowship, and gratitude.

Bring your rosary beads and flowers as symbols of devotion, and during Mass, offer humble gifts of gratitude, reminders that every blessing we hold is meant to be shared. May this Marian Camp lead us deeper into the heart of Mary, and through her, closer to Christ awakening in us renewed hope, gentle courage, and trust in God’s loving plan.
