WHO WE ARE

The Society of Mary, also known as the Marists, is an international religious congregation of priests and brothers devoted to living the Gospel in Mary’s way.

The name “Marists” comes from Mary, the mother of Jesus, and reflects our commitment to follow her example.

As marists, we bear her name and mission, serving the Church and the world “Sub Mariae Nomine” – under Mary’s name.

Our Spirituality

Mary teaches us to ponder life’s mysteries in our hearts — thinking, judging, feeling, and acting as she did. Through her grace, we learn to, serve humbly, work in a hidden way, become instruments of mercy, and shine Christ’s light upon the world.

“But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart.” (Luke 2:19)
