The Office of Mission and Rector invites St. Mary’s faculty and staff to participate in the 2026 Lenten Read. This year, the Lenten Read book study will explore How We Learn to be Brave: Decisive Moments in Life and Faith by the Right Reverend Mariann Edgar Budde, Episcopal Bishop of Washington.  

A free copy of the book will be provided to the first 30 participants who sign up for the three-session read. Each session will be co-facilitated by a Marianist Educational Associate and a Marianist Religious.

Join us from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. in the University Center, Conference Room B, for free lunch and faith-filled, vibrant discussions during the three Lenten Read sessions:

• Wednesday, March 4
• Thursday, March 19
• Wednesday, April 1

Secure your spot and RSVP to Sandra Moore at smoore22@stmarytx.edu.

The Rector’s Lenten Read 2026 is open to all faculty and staff.

For additional information, contact the Rev. William J. Meyer, S.M., D.Min., at wjmeyer@stmarytx.edu or 210-436-3839.
