“In 1836, the opportunity came. The mission-minded Pope Gregory XVI was looking for missionaries for the south-west Pacific — and the Marists were suggested. When the word got to Jean-Claude Colin he said simply, ‘We will do the work of Mary on whatever distant shore’. And the priests’ branch of the Society of Mary was approved.”

We ask for your continued prayers and financial support for the Marist missions so that we may be able to carry on the work of Fr. Colin and keep bringing the compassionate love of Our Lord to the world in Mary’s quiet way.
