1. Define the word Charism.

Charism is a gift that is freely given by God to an individual or a group of people.

2. Marcellin Champagnat outlined FIVE marist charisms that are identified within Marist schools.
Describe THREE of these charisms.

Deep Concern – This is when a person cares about people other than himself, these people care about the sick, the poor, the homeless etc. St.Marcellin shows many of these characteristics which made him such a great person.

Open Minded – People who are open minded are people who treat everyone equally weather it be their race, skin colour etc. St.Marcellin Champagnat showed this characteristic.

 Strength of Character – This is a person who has a good attitude and never gives up even when things aren’t going his/her way. This is another characteristic that St.Marcellin Champagnat showed.
 

3. Provide THREE examples of how you have seen these charisms evident within Parramatta Marist.

Deep concern – i have seen this charism in parramatta marist when we raise money for charity such as Caritas Australia.

Open Minded - this charism has been shown in parramatta marist as we all treat each other equally and show respect to eachother.

Strength of Character – The marist MCS teams show this as they never give up even when they are losing.

4. List and describe TWO ways you believe we can create a better sense of ‘Marist Family’ within Parramatta Marist.

Deep Concern – we can have fundraisers more often to help the less fortuned people around the world.
