On March 24, 2026, Jessica González Uhlig and Sr. Laura Leming, FMI, represented NACMS at St. Mary’s University for a special Women’s History Month edition of Merienda Marianista.

Honoring the merienda tradition of relaxing with family and friends, Jess and Sr. Laura shared the inspiring stories of Adèle de Batz de Trenquelléon and Marie Thérèse de Lamourous. Their presentation explored how these foundational women continue to offer practical leadership lessons for the Marianist Family today.
