Who We Are?

As a Marist, you join a global family of individuals who commit themselves to a life of spiritual growth, community, and service. Our values emphasize openness to others, active listening, and a genuine dedication to supporting those in need.

What It Means to be a Marist

Becoming a Marist means embracing a way of life centered around service and humility. Marists are educators, missionaries, and pastoral ministers who work in various settings—schools, parishes, community centers, and beyond—to make a difference in the lives of others. Joining the Marist community is a commitment to developing a deeper relationship with God, nurturing one’s spirituality, and supporting others in their journey of faith.

The Path to Joining

The journey to becoming a Marist is a personal and transformative one. It typically begins with a period of discernment, where you reflect on your calling and explore the values of Marist life. This is followed by formation, where you will receive guidance and training to prepare you for your role within the community. Throughout this process, you will be supported by mentors and fellow Marists who will help you grow in your faith and commitment.

By becoming a Marist, you join a network of individuals committed to positive change and compassionate service. The Marist way of life offers a profound sense of purpose, rooted in faith and a desire to serve. Whether you feel called to work in education, healthcare, pastoral ministry, or social justice, Marist life provides opportunities to live out your values in meaningful ways.
