Marist Educational Mission

Home Page | Presentation | Illustrations

The Institute is presenting a document that upholds the foundational insights of the 1998 text while also addressing contemporary realities, proposals, and orientations. Embracing a holistic perspective, this document distinctly incorporates the voices of various stakeholders, mission domains, thematic contents, values, and educational and evangelizing initiatives that resonate with the current dynamics of the Marist community. It serves as a catalyst for Marists to “look beyond” in their mission journey, fostering a belief in a future brimming with hope and opportunities. Above all, it instills a collective commitment among all Marists to keep alive the visionary legacy of St. Marcellin Champagnat, remaining ever present within each individual’s heart.This new edition, of ‘Footsteps’ seeks to rekindle our affinity with our mission as Marists and to encourage our dedicated presence among today’s younger generation.
