Society of Mary (Marists)
The Society of Mary (Latin: Societas Mariæ), better known as the Marists, is a Catholic religious congregation of pontifical right. Founded in Cerdon, France, by Jean-Claude Colin, the Society of Mary was recognized by an apostolic brief on April 29, 1836, and is made up of several branches (fathers, brothers, sisters, third order).
The Society of Mary is a religious congregation. This congregation is made up of five branches. Although all members of the Society of Mary, each of the five branches is independent of one another.
The "Marist Fathers" were founded by Jean-Claude Colin and approved by Rome on April 29, 1836 (at the same time as the Society of Mary itself). These are religious who have received priestly ordination (they are both religious and priests). Marist fathers live in community. These are educators and missionaries. Their mission is to announce the gospel and celebrate the sacraments. They exercise their priestly ministries in Marist schools, hospitals, etc. The superior of Marist fathers is also the superior of the entire Society of Mary.
The "Marist Brothers" were founded by Marcellin Champagnat on January 2, 1817. It was integrated into the Society of Mary on April 22, 1842 and was approved by Rome in 1863. The Marist brothers are religious (but they are not priests, unlike the Marist fathers). Marist brothers live in community. Their mission is to help and educate young people with a particular intention for poor, marginalized or neglected children. They mainly work where the economic and social situations are the most difficult (slums, orphanages, disadvantaged neighbourhoods, juvenile detention centers, etc.).
The "Marist Sisters" were founded by Jeanne-Marie Chavoin on December 8, 1824. They are contemplative and apostolic nuns (parish animation, distribution of communion to the sick, catechumenate, youth ministry, etc.). They wear a blue veil.
The "Missionary Sisters of the Society of Mary" were foundeded by Marie-Françoise Perroton and approved by Rome on December 30, 1931. They are missionary nuns. Their mission is to "stay close to people in simplicity", to live and announce the gospel through apostolic service. They work with those left behind, with particular concern for women and children. They wear a white veil and a medal of the Immaculate Conception
The "Third Order of Mary" is open to all: lay or religious, wishing to work for their spiritual advancement and to associate with the Society of Mary. Founded by Jean-Claude Colin, it was however Pierre-Julien Eymard who organized it, developed it, wrote its rules and obtained its approval by Rome on December 5, 1850. The third order aims to be a school of perfection. The best known member of the Marist Third Order is Jean-Marie Vianney, who joined it on December 8, 1846.
Marists present their spirituality and their way of living through a series of expressions, images and symbols.
