Marist days: sharing about vocations in French schools

Marists

This spring, several Marist schools in France celebrated "Les journées maristes" (Marist Days). The journey began in March at Bury and Le Rosaire (North Paris) and continued after Easter at our three Toulon locations: Cours Fénelon, Institution Sainte Marie, and Externat Saint Joseph la Cordeille. An enthusiastic team from the Marist Family shared testimonies with hundreds of students, highlighting their vocations and the global Marist mission. The response was positive; speakers were moved by the students' attentive engagement, while many teachers and students felt a deep connection to the stories of Marist life in today’s world, all following in the footsteps of Fr. Colin.

Representing the Marist family were Frs Jimmy McElroy, Rafael Ramila, Constant Amoussouga, Christian Abongbung and Mika Tuilau, two Marist Missionary Sisters, Aqela and Hélène, and Sr Teri O’Brien sm.
