The Marist Way
What is the Marist Way?
The Marist Way refers to a certain way of living the Gospel and that is the way Mary lived it as understood by a group of religious and lay persons called Marists. This Marist Way of living the Gospel describes how Marists strive to breathe in the Holy Spirit so that in all things they may think, judge, feel, and act like Mary, the first disciple of Jesus and model of discipleship. To live the Marist Way is to be engaged in “the Work of Mary”.
What is the Mission of the Marist Way?
To make certain that Marist School remains "Marist" and continues to support the mission of the Society of Mary.
In order to maintain and deepen the Marist ethos of the school and to advance its mission, the Marist Way forms and develops individuals in the spirit of the Society of Mary by promoting a life of prayer, community, learning, service, and vocation. As a result of their participation, some may wish to partner with the Society of Mary in advancing the mission of Marist School. Others may identify themselves as Marist lay persons.
