Martin Luther King Jr. Community Prayer Breakfast

Inspired by service and social justice, Marian University holds its annual Martin Luther King Jr. Community Prayer Breakfast every January. The celebration, which began in 1999, aimed to develop an opportunity for Marian and those in the community to observe the Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday.

Every year it has been a tradition of Marian and the Fond du Lac community to honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. As a community, we continue to remember and reflect on how his dream continues to inspire us. This is a day of interracial and intercultural cooperation and sharing.

Join us for the 2024 Martin Luther King Jr. Community Prayer Breakfast!
$15 per person or a table of 8 for $120
