In order to maintain and deepen the Marist ethos of the school and to advance its mission, the Marist Way forms and develops its participants in the spirit of the Society of Mary by embracing 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 Laity while still others, called by a gracious choice of Mary, may want to undergo the formal process of becoming a Lay Marist.
