The three branches of the Marianist Family in North America are gathering in 2026 to pray, plan, and "forge the future." Join leaders from across the Family for a special preview of the upcoming assemblies and congresses set to envision the next years of Marianist life.

Robert K. Moriarty, SM, uses the theological concepts of "aggiornamento" (bringing up to date) and "ressourcement" (returning to the source) to enhance for Marianists today Blessed William Joseph Chaminade’s original missionary vision. Brother Bob provides an historical analysis of community building in the Marianist Family and the importance of “development” for the charism’s manifestation for the Church and world of today.

This searchable online collection is a compilation of letters either penned directly by Chaminade or dictated by him to a personal secretary and signed by the Marianist Founder. Focused primarily on administrative duties, the pressing matters of the day, and spiritual direction, "Letters of Father Chaminade" also provides a rare look at Chaminade, the man, not by way of autobiographical self-disclosure but by the practical and psychological temperament of his decision-making in light of the significant demands placed upon him.

What does it mean to seek the virtue of hope during difficult times? This question is at the heart of Sandra Yocum’s reflection, which draws upon the lives of our Marianist Founders and the thinking of St. Thomas Aquinas, William Lynch, SJ, and Pope Leo XIV.
