Marists

In our Marist tradition we are very familiar with expressions like having a vocation by virtue of a gracious choice or doing the work of Mary.

The 30th General Chapter of the Society of Mary was held in Nemi, Italy between 16th September to 5th October 2025, with 36 Marist delegates from around the world.

As we commemorate this feast, we are reminded of Mary’s profound influence and her role as a powerful intercessor for the faithful. From the beginning, Marists have seen their relationship with Mary as a sort of covenant with rights and responsibilities on each side.

This provincial retreat was first and foremost an opportunity for a fraternal reunion with regulars of what had become an institution: from Norway to Spain, from Ireland to Italy, the European retreat allows us to get to know each other and then to meet again, in true joy, praying together, close to the Founder, in our various languages.
