Our Gatherings

We meet in the Madeleine Room located in the Chaminade Center on Mount St John at 3:00PM on the 1st and 3rd Sundays of each month (check calendar for schedule changes).  At our Spiritus gatherings, we come as a Community of Faith with prayer, song, and fellowship to find new opportunities to recognize Christ in everyone and to be Christ for one another and the world. 

Our gatherings have two major sections.  The first section is Community Prayer, which lasts approximately 45 minutes.  The second section is Community Activity, which lasts approximately 30 minutes. 

We also collaborate with the Dayton Marianist Council to determine how we might support additional Masses in addition to the two Masses they currently host.  These Masses would bring together all of the Dayton Marianist Lay Communities.
