On March 25, 2026, we celebrate the Annunciation of the Lord and the Patronal Feast of the Marianist Family under the theme \u201cMary, way of Hope.\u201d After a Jubilee Year marked by joy and renewal, we continue being \u201cpilgrims of hope,\u201d called to bear witness to the Risen Christ. <\/p>\n\n
On the 25th anniversary of the beatification of Blessed Father Chaminade, we renew our missionary commitment. Mary\u2019s \u201cyes\u201d at the Annunciation opened the way to the Incarnation and became a source of hope for all humanity. Her trusting and generous faith inspires us to welcome the Word and bring it to the world. <\/p>\n\n
As the Marianist Family, in the diversity of our vocations \u2014 lay marianists, sisters, brothers, and consecrated women of the Alliance Marial \u2014 we want to be hope in action, close to young people, the poor, and all who are seeking meaning. With Mary, we learn to say \u201clet it be done,\u201d to serve with joy, and to become a living source of hope for the Church and the world. <\/p>\n\n
