On April 18, 2024, the Church celebrates the 25th anniversary of the canonization of Saint Marcellin, which took place in 1999 at the Vatican (photos). The entire Marist community is coming together to remember this important moment in the history of the Marist Institute.

In the section dedicated to the canonization, you will find a dossier on this event, with materials that can be used to remember the canonization of the founder. Here you find prayers specially designed to celebrate the triduum and the feast of April 18. Also available are testimonies from around the world, where Marists testify to the impact of St. Marcellin Champagnat on their lives.

We invite everyone to join in the spirit of the celebration by sharing content on social media with the hashtag #Champagnat25
