Centenary of service of GRAM Publications

On 1st March 2021, GRAM PUBLICATION CELEBRATES 100 YEARS of focussed and committed Marist presence in education, evangelisation and advocacy of child rights in Argentina.

Its books, classroom resources and all its materials, developed specifically for teachers, have sought to respond to changes that have taken place in society, culture, the world of work, and the Church, always attentive to emerging needs.

The centenary will be celebrated throughout the year, proudly recalling those whose work and dedication have left us a values-based enterprise with all its challenges and hopes. With great conviction, they were faithful to what is at the heart of our Marist mission and charism: TO MAKE JESUS CHRIST KNOWN AND LOVED.

VICTORINO MAGIN SERVITJE GUITART was in charge of the Publication house from 1921 to 1947. In its foundation year, he launched the first school text (an Atlas for First Grade), by Br. Felipe Lorenzo, and the first set of class Readers (from 10 to 60).

Today GRAM publishes cutting-edge material on religious education for schools, youth ministry, textbooks, spirituality, Mariology, communication and child rights and protection.

Message from Brother Ernesto Sánchez, Superior General, for the celebration of the centenary:

A journey over 100 years

Today, GRAM Publications is launching “Cien años de Historia” (A Hundred Years of History), a digital publication that invites people to retrace the life of an institution that has inspired generations in their life education and learning. This journey down the years shows us the most relevant milestones and productions, from the first school and religious publications to its best-selling collections, showing its constant evolution and growth.

In May 2021, we plan to launch a publication in book format of the history of GRAM from its beginnings to the present day. A great opportunity to take up the challenges of the publishing industry and to continue our vocation to be life-giving and sowers of hope.
