MARCELLIN CHAMPAGNAT

Marcellin Champagnat, a Marist Priest, dreamed of a worldwide community devoted to making Jesus Christ known and loved among children and young people, especially the least favored. Today, an international community of brothers and laypeople continues its dream.


MARIST INSTITUTE

When seeing children and young people without schooling and knowledge of their faith, Marcellin would say, “We need brothers!” Then, on January 2, 1817 he set in motion his plan for the Congregation of “the little brothers of Mary” with two young recruits, in La Valla, France.


GENERAL CHAPTER 2025

‘Home for all. River of Life’ is the theme of the XXIII General Chapter, which will be held in the Philippines from September 8 to October 8, 2025. We are invited to dream of the future with a positive outlook and to act with generosity to continue to keep the Marist charism alive.


Marist Mission

Disciples of Marcellin Champagnat, Brothers and Laypeople, together in mission, in the Church and in the world, among the young, especially the most neglected, we are sowers of the Good News, with a distinctive Marist style, in schools and in other pastoral and social ministries. We face the future with audacity and hope.
