purpose of the marist association
The two main purposes are growing the Marist spiritual family and ensuring the future vitality & viability of Marist ministries. It nurtures the vocation of all Marists by building a sense of community and belonging between all those who choose to share in Marist life and mission.
People who join the Association ensure that the Marist charism remains a living tradition by continually returning to the question: “What is God asking of Marists in Australia today?” The Association seeks to provide and bear witness to an experience of Church community that is Marian, Eucharistic, faith focused, mission driven and inclusive.
