From the beginning, our Founders had the vision of a 
Marist Family with several branches. 
Today, the tree of Father Colin’s vision is developing 
throughout the world, 
through the four religious congregations and 
various Marist lay groups.

All these branches, by discovering their common roots, 
believe they have a common Marist Mission. 
The hope is that each branch will continue to explore 
the richness and complementarity in all the branches. 
In general, collaboration is growing as we seek together 
to build a Marian Church.

"The laity are called to participate actively 
in the whole life of the Church; 
not only are they to animate the world 
with the spirit of Christianity, 
but they are to be witnesses to Christ
 in all circumstances and at the very heart 
of the community of mankind." 

( Gaudium et Spes 43)

"He called the twelve and began to send them out…" 

(Mk 6:7-13)
