Welcome to the site of the Institute of the Marist Brothers of the Schools (FMS - Fratres Maristae a Scholis)
We Marist brothers are religious consecrated to God, and we follow Jesus in the way that Mary did. We live in community and dedicate ourselves in a special way to the education of children and young people, with a preference for those who are the most neglected.
The Marist Brothers are in 79 countries on five continents. Using this map we invite you to take a trip around the world and see where we serve.Read more

In the final session of the XXII General Chapter, Brother Ernesto Sánchez, Superior General, made some closing remarks that were addressed to the whole Chapter assembly, to the entire Institute of the Marist Brothers, and to all those associated with Marist life and mission. His message focused on three images that were a constant presence during this General Chapter: Our Lady of Fourvière, the table of La Valla and the Last Supper mural by Maximino Cerezo Barredo.
The three key points associated with these images are:’We look to Mary’; ‘The table of the "New La Valla’; ‘Love and service in the leadership of Jesus’.
Brother Ernesto concluded his message with words of thanks to all the Marists present, to the Province of Norandina and to all the Marists of Champagnat. He emphasized that "everyone, wherever they are, forms an important part of this global body of Marcellin Champagnat".
