The Marianist Tradition is a Catholic educational and spiritual movement founded by Blessed William Joseph Chaminade in the early 19th century. It emphasizes the importance of community, faith, and service, aiming to foster a holistic development of individuals through education and personal growth. Central to this tradition is a deep devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary, who serves as a model of faith and discipleship. Marianists strive to create inclusive environments that promote social justice, peace, and the dignity of all people, reflecting their commitment to living out the Gospel in everyday life.
