Marist ministry flows from our spirituality, community,
and mission to render Mary present to the Church today. All Marists
are missionary in character, desiring to serve God and bear the love
of God for others.
We reach out to all people – especially those
who feel alienated. We encourage the Church to unify in its diversity
and to be transformed by the spirit of Mary. Our apostolic work takes
us to parishes, schools and college campuses, prisons, hospitals,
and missions in this country and overseas.
The Society of Mary is composed of priests and brothers
in 14 provinces and four missionary districts around the world.
In the United States there are two provinces with centers in Boston
and Atlanta. The Boston Province covers the Northeast; the Atlanta
Province covers the rest of the country.
Our Atlanta Province has priests and brothers in
7 states and the District of Columbia. In addition, we minister
in the Philippines, Brazil, Australia and the military chaplaincy.
