The Marist Brothers' Center at Esopus is a very special place to many people. Through their summer camp programs and retreats, the MBCE has served many people through its great programs. It is a great place for rest and healing as well. This cause is extra special to us this year as our son Robert has just completed a year of volunteer service at the MBCE and is currently a postulant on the path to becoming a Marist brother. Please help support this great cause.
Here is the MBCE's Mission and Vision Statements: "The Marist Brothers’ Center at Esopus is a place where a Marist approach to ministry, formation, and service work together to evangelize young people and adults."
"The Marist Brothers’ Center at Esopus is devoted to the work of Christian evangelization. Here the presence of God is discovered in a new way by young people and adults alike. Hearts are touched, lives changed and “Jesus is made known and loved.
Founded and administered by the Marist Brothers, a Roman Catholic religious order established for the Christian education of youth with special concern for the poor and marginalized, the Center offers experiences of community, service, and spiritual formation in a setting of great natural beauty. “In this sacred space, on this holy ground, God’s grace touches people in many different ways.”
The Marist values of welcome and acceptance, joyful service to others, community, simplicity, humility, and love of God mark the programs offered by the Center as well as the approach of all who live and serve there."
