Our mission is to lead others through community to faith in Jesus Christ. Using Mary as our model, we fulfill this mission within the Church, utilizing our Marianist Charism through a variety of ministries. The founder of the Marianists, Father Chaminade, strongly resisted all attempts to define the mission of Marianists in terms of specific ministries. The notion of universal service keeps Marianists and Marianist communities open to any need in our Church.
