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

The members of the Provincial Commission of the Marist Laity, Claudia Rojas, María Torres, Moisés Beltrán and Br Pau Fornells, met in Bogotá from 13 to 17 June 2013. The work agenda was as follows :
1. II International Marist Mission Assembly
With the Brother delegates Carlos Alberto Rojas and Wilson Torres, we considered the preparation and living of the IMMA in the Province. In the proposed plan, there is a local phase, a provincial phase and a national phase so as to obtain the greatest participation possible of brothers and laity. The force will come from living the process at the local level.
2. Provincial experience of joint formation
The Commission of the Marist Laity, strengthened by the presence and participation of some members of the National Team of the Marist Laity of Colombia, has launched the immediate preparation of the experience of joint formation which will take place from 29 September to 4 October in Los Teques, Venezuela. This experience, involving Brothers and lay delegates from each of the three countries of the Province, opens the way for each of the countries in 2014 and 2015 to become engaged in the organisation and implementation of similar experiences.
3. Progress of the Marist laity in the Province
Sunday16 and Monday 17 June were devoted to sharing, evaluating and projecting the specific mission of the Commission of the Marist Laity. We shared the progress of each of the countries in this area and looked to pushing on the plans of work and especially to strengthen the processes which generate life in each of the localities.
