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

Marcellin Champagnat was born on 20th May 1789 in Rosey, Marlhes, near St Etienne (Loire), France, the youngest of 10 children. From John Baptist, his father, committed to the ideals of the French Revolution, he learned his love of work and his spirit of enterprise. Marie, his mother, and his aunt, a religious expelled from her convent by the Revolution, cultivated his piety, his Christian charity, and his devotion to the Blessed Virgin.
