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 majority of the thirty-one communities of the Province of Cruz del Sur (Argentina and Uruguay) participated in the first meeting of Community Superiors, in Sagrada Familia, Buenos Aires, 24th and 25th February 2006.
The Provincial priority was presented there: “To promote a community animation that encourages discernment and human and spiritual growth.”
In responding to a few disappointments and hopes expressed during the last Provincial Assembly and in accompanying the animation team of brothers and of communities, we aimed to obtain Superiors who are animators of the human and spiritual growth of the brothers, life giving communities and brothers who are happy and open to the Spirit.
That supposes that the Superiors are helped in their work of deepening the community plan, vocations ministry, community meetings, moments of recollection and of retreat, meetings between communities of the same zone. As to the brothers, they must be supported by their personal life plan, Provincial retreats, meetings in age groups, accompaniment of brothers in temporary vows, the Assembly and the Provincial Chapter, and the meetings with the Superior General during his visit to the Province.
We used these elements to outline a strategic plan in view of revitalising the brothers and the communities.
May the Lord, Mary, Marcellin and our brothers who are models of sanctity encourage us in this community task largely dependent on the generous contribution of each person!
