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

A New presence community of the district of Asia faces the daunting challenge of raising awareness of vocations for both brothers and laity in a country where Catholics comprise a mere 6% of the population. Taking the responsibility of actualizing the calls of the recent General Chapter for greater communion and co-responsibility between brothers and lay, the local community from that country invited the Secretariat of Laity to visit different realities, share resources, and explore pathways of “seed-sowing” and nurturing Marist life in the area.
The New presence community invited the co-director of the Secretariat of the Laity, Agnes S. Reyes, for a visit from March 4 – 6. The visit was focused on several fundamental areas of concern along with the intent of navigating pathways of developing Champagnat Marists:
“This provided a different perspective, especially in the area of shared formation opportunities for those following their vocation as a brother or those who believe they are called to be lay Marists,” Agnes said. “Brief though it was, the visit proved to be a catalyst in charting a future of possibilities.”
