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.

On the morning of 12 September, feast of the Holy Name of Mary, our Br Mario Pentón Martínez made his first profession in public, consecrating himself to God in the Institute of the Marist Brothers of the Schools, for the service of the Kingdom of God. The Br Provincial, Hipólito Pérez, the Brothers of Cuba and relatives of the Pearl of the South accompanied him in the Eucharist in the name of the Brothers of the Province of América Central and of the whole Institute.
Mario followed an itinerary of accompaniment and discernment in the community of Cienfuegos as aspirant and postulant; a further year of postulancy in Havana and two as a novice, accompanied by the Brothers of the community and particularly by Br Jesús Bayo Mayor, master of novices.
Mario, the Brothers of the Province of América Central welcome you with joy in the following of Christ Jesus as a Little Brother of Mary. You can count on us, but more, you know you can count on Mary, Our Lady of Charity, and her Son Jesus: they are always faithful.
