Marist in Europe
being Mary's presence
in the world
We are religious and lay people, women and men who strive follow Christ in the manner of Mary in the Roman Catholic tradition.
The Marist Fathers and Brothers of the Society of Mary in Europe form part of an international religious congregation.
Strength in Unity

Putting the Gospel into action for us means thinking, judging, feeling and acting as Mary did, in the culture of Europe today.
