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 co-group members from our Marist Schools had their get-together on 20th December 2006 at Holy Cross College, Kalutara. The meeting started with a short prayer. Mr. Bertie Fernando gave a brief reflection on the topic Lay Partnership and the task of the Lay Partners in the field of Education.
The members proposed the following plan of action for the year 2007:
1. Publish a News Letter to share the activities done and to learn more about Lay partnership: Three issues for the year.
2. Organize a two-day retreat for the co-groups. Other teachers who are interested may be invited.
3. Celebrate the feast of St. Marcellin Champagnat.
The meeting ended with the Marist Novices, the members of the Champagnat Clubs and candidates to become Marist Brothers joining in for a variety entertainment program. The program came to a close with lunch.
