Mark Motz, SM and Sr. Rose Rucoba, FMI share their stories of discerning and living vowed religious life within the Marianist Family.
Their stories highlight significant influences in their discernment journeys, the blessings and challenges of vowed religious life, their current ministries, and their hopes for the future of the Marianist Family.
