From General Chapter 2001:

A Statement of Marist Mission

 

In the light of the events of 11 September 2001 and our reflection on it…

We saw that the world of the youthful Jeanne-Marie Chavoin 

was turned upside down by the Revolution. 

It was a time when all that was held important/valued 

was challenged and destroyed.

 

We see our Marist mission as:

bullet

being called to be in the midst of the world in its pain,
insecurity, vulnerability and fragility.

bullet

being called to offer a presence that brings forth new life, faith, hope 

bullet

building relationships, reconciliation; not putting
our faith "in what our hands have made" (Hosea 14:4)

bullet

being nourished and nourishing others
with God’s word and eucharistic presence.
