Remembering Fr. Colin on the Anniversary of His Death

Today, November 15, 2024, marks the 149th anniversary of the death of Fr. Jean Claude Colin, the founder of the Society of Mary (Marists).

On this anniversary, Marists throughout the world give thanks to God for the witness of this humble and courageous man. Fr. Colin was a gift to the Church, to the Society of Mary and to the whole world.

May Fr. Colin continue to inspire all – to continue the work of Mary: simply, generously and in her gentle spirit. To be Mary’s compassionate presence in our world. We invite you to view the booklet “Jean-Claude Colin Novena – Reflection and Prayer with the Founder of the Society of Mary.”
