关于会议

The new Marist Youth program focuses on our Global Marist Mission and exploring how we are each called to live out that mission today here in the USA.

学生 learned about the International Mission of the Marist 兄弟thers - to make Jesus known and loved with particular focus on the youth.

They researched Marist work in 80 countries and then turned their focus onto the Marist work in the United States.

As one of their final projects at the conference, students created their own Marist inspired Mission statements.

About the Marist 兄弟thers of the Schools

The Marist 兄弟thers of the Schools is a Roman Catholic congregation of vowed teaching brothers founded by Saint Marcellin Champagnat in France in 1817.

今天, the Marist 兄弟thers are an international religious community of more than 4,000 Catholic 兄弟thers dedicated to making Jesus known and loved through the education of young people, 尤其是那些最被忽视的人.

Marist 兄弟thers are located in 81 countries in North America, 中美洲, 南美, 欧洲, 非洲, 亚洲, 中东, 和大洋洲. There are over 600,000 young people in Marist schools around the world each year.

The Marist 兄弟thers are joined worldwide by more than 70,000 lay men and women who share in their mission.

In the United States there are more than 130 Marist 兄弟thers living in 32 communities across eight states.

Marist 兄弟thers strive to make a difference in the world by showing young people that they are loved, 安全且受到照顾.

Central Catholic was founded in 1935 by 兄弟ther Florentius and the Marist 兄弟thers.

Our identity as Marists and as Catholics informs every aspect of school life.

是圣母

Guided by the vision of Saint Marcellin Champagnat, we are dedicated to the education and spiritual development of the young. We are called to prepare young minds and hearts to succeed and make a difference in the world.

是圣母, we believe strongly in the importance and power of family; it’s at the very heart of the Central Catholic experience.

So much of what our alumni remember most—the abiding respect for everyone in our community, our commitment to the least favored, 我们全体教员的奉献精神, and the unbreakable bonds of friendship, can be traced directly back to the Marist tradition of family spirit.

The Five Pillars of our Marist Identity

The Five Pillars of Marist Identity were introduced by the Marist Province in 2015 as ideals to which all Marists, 学生和成年人都一样, 应该承诺.

支柱是:

存在…… 互相关心, seeking relationships founded on love, being attentive and welcoming with a sense of openness

简单…… being straightforward and genuine, humble and modest, ‘doing good quietly’

家庭精神…… relating to each other as members of a loving family, 建立社区, offering the warmth of welcoming, 接纳与归属, sharing our successes and failures, setting clear standards of honesty, 相互尊重, 和宽容

热爱工作…… 心地宽宏大量, 常数, and persevering in our daily work, 自信, 有远见的, decisive in meeting the needs of our community and encouraging each other to discover the dignity of our work with young people and with each other

在玛丽的路上…… seeing Mary as a perfect model of being Marist, 温柔的, strong, 坚定信念, open to God’s calling us to our own journey of discipleship
