A Note from Our Provincial

The Marist Brothers of the Schools, Province of the United States of America, is happy to introduce you to our website!

For those of you that know us, we hope it can serve as a resource of recent news and happenings around our Province, and as a way of continuing to connect with you and all of the members of our Marist Family.

For those of you that are meeting us for the first time via this website, may you discover how we, as Marists of St. Marcellin Champagnat, commit our lives to making Jesus Christ known and loved, especially among young people and poor children.

Let’s remember to pray for each other, always in the hearts of Jesus, Mary, and Champagnat.
