The Marist Call
A vocation to the Society of Mary is a holy call, simply to bear Christ to the world as Mary the Mother
of God did. But it is only over a lifetime that a priest or brother grows into the fullness of what this
means. Within a committed community of vowed religious men and joined with the wider Marist family
of religious and laity around the world, the individual dedicates himself to be Mary’s presence to the
Church and all people, especially the most neglected, the poor, and those who suffer injustice. In
faith, attitude, prayer, and action, a Marist strives to think, judge, feel and act in every way as Mary
would.
The spirit of Mary is compassionate, merciful, humble, and reconciling. Mary’s life as we know it from
the New Testament was as a willing servant of God. She was a quiet, ever-present support and the
first disciple of Jesus.
Mary seeks today through the Marists to transform and renew the Church. Her desire is that all people
be welcomed into God’s loving embrace.
