Registration is open for The Gathering, a new Mission Week event this year on Monday, Sept. 28, at 11 a.m. in the AMU Monaghan Ballrooms.
Inspired by the Gospel call to let our light shine, The Gathering will explore themes of humility, generosity, inclusivity and the power of relationships. Whether you are new to Marquette or have been part of the community for many years, this event offers an opportunity to pause, reconnect with colleagues, and reflect on the ways each of us helps advance Marquette’s mission every day.
Together, attendees will enjoy lunch, conversation, prayer, and reflection centered on Marquette’s 2026 Mission Week theme, “Let your light shine” (Matthew 5:16). Through inspiring presentations, personal reflection, and opportunities for connection, participants will be invited to consider how each of us is called to share our gifts in service of others and contribute to the flourishing of our university community.
