Marist
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Marist is an adjectival noun, the word is derived from the name Mary - in particular Mary the Mother of Jesus Christ. The term Marist refers to organisations that are linked to (or whose origins are linked to) the religious orders of the Society of Mary, The Marist Fathers and Brothers and the Marist Brothers of the Schools, as well as to the Marist Sisters and the Missionary Sisters of the Society of Mary. Therefore Marist today may refer to:

Other organisations: schools, educational institutions and the like are Marist by association with one of the religious orders named above. The Marist Spirit or Charism is present in the organisation usually because it was instilled in it from its foundation by members of the religious order. Exactly what the Marist Charism is requires definition. As well many Marist Colleges associated with the Brothers of the Schools have significant devotion to the person of the founder of the Marist Brothers, Marcellin Champagnat and may describe the spirit of their organisation more as being of him than Marist.
