Welcome to the site of the Institute of the Marist Brothers of the Schools (FMS - Fratres Maristae a Scholis)
We Marist brothers are religious consecrated to God, and we follow Jesus in the way that Mary did. We live in community and dedicate ourselves in a special way to the education of children and young people, with a preference for those who are the most neglected.
The Marist Brothers are in 79 countries on five continents. Using this map we invite you to take a trip around the world and see where we serve.Read more

A survey with feedback on the XXII General Chapter that was held in Rionegro, Colombia, from Sept. 8 – Oct. 20 is now available.
Eighty-eight of the 116 Brothers and laity that took part in the Chapter (79 capitulants, 16 guests and 21 of the support team) completed the survey, which ran last November and December.
The topics that the survey covered were the Chapter process, the fact that it was held outside Rome, the venue (Casa de encuentros De La Salle), the Chapter’s resources, and a general evaluation of the Chapter.
Participants rated the general evaluation of the Chapter a 4.5 out of 5, one being the lowest score and five, the best.
The place of the meeting and the fact that it was held outside of Rome was much appreciated by the participants. Results also showed there was insufficient time to work on the Constitutions and the Rule of Life.
The general government is pleased by the great satisfaction expressed by the participants and by the success of the XXII General Chapter, held in Colombia. It is sure that it was the movement of the Spirit that helped the Marists of Champagnat to enter into this new beginning of the Marist charism.
