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 architect of the project, Mr Joan Puig-Pey, appointed by the General Council and the Provincial Council, attended the first meeting of this central Commission.
The objectives of this meeting were to become familiar with the mandate of the central Commission, to define the major stages in realising the project and to study the fundamental aspects of the master plan.
The work of this Commission was facilitated partly by the good work that had already been realised by the International Commission of Marist Places” which completed its mandate in June 2006. Several members of this International Commission now belong to the central Commission.
