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

20/10/2016: Rwanda
Around 1,000 people took part in the Eucharistic celebration during which Brother Félix Donald Banam made his final vows in Byimana, Rwanda, on Sept. 25.
Participants included his friends, lay Marists, Brothers, teachers and students from Rwanda (Byimana, Kigali, Save, Rwabuye, Mururu and Nyangezi) and from the Democratic Republic of Congo (Bobandana).
Br Félix made his vows at the Byimana School of Sciences in the presence of the provincial superior of East Central Africa, Brother Théoneste Kalista Ruhando.
Father Jérôme Masinzo of the Diocese of Butare presided the Eucharistic celebration, animated by choirs of the Teacher Training College Save and the Byimana School of Sciences.
During his homily, Fr Jérôme underscored the gratuity of God’s gifts and everyone’s superior call to holiness.
Br Théoneste, who also spoke during the event, noted that final vows “are emitted once for all, but the act itself is a mystery that can only be understood as one lives throughout his life.”
Br Félix, in turn, asked God to bless all participants and affirmed that the secret of religious life is prayer. In the Central Africa Republic, Br Félix’s homeland, there is only one Marist community, with 3 brothers, in Berberati, with primary and secondary schools. The Marist Brothers are in the country for 55 years.
