Marist Way
The Marist Way is the lay branch of the Marist Congregation, bringing together people who wish to participate in the life and mission of the Church in the ‘Spirit of Mary’ - a way envisaged by Jean-Claude Colin, founder of the Marists - Priests, Sisters, Brothers and Laity.
Marists endeavour to think, feel, judge and act as Mary did, at Nazareth and at Pentecost. All Marists believe that Mary maintains a special interest in bringing the women and men of our time into contact with her Son, Jesus. They feel called to share in this concern of Mary’s and to become part of her family to work on her behalf. The term ‘the work of Mary’ describes this essentially missionary spirit. Marists adopt a ‘low profile’ approach, always having great respect for others. Being “hidden and unknown’ in the world is the Marist way - being personally unnoticed whilst doing great good for others.
