On March 7, 2026, NACMS partnered with Bergamo Center for Lifelong Learning and the Ignatian Spirituality Project for a Lenten reflection on Marianist hospitality and recovery. Sr. Laura Leming, FMI, shared the radical legacy of Marie Thérèse de Lamourous, whose "Miséricorde" ministry offered a sanctuary of dignity.

Sr. Laura’s insights revealed how this nineteenth -century model of presence provides a transformative roadmap for serving those on the margins in today’s world.
