MARIANS AROUND THE WORLD

After the fall of communism, Pope John Paul II urged the Marians to be leaders in rebuilding the Church in Eastern Europe. We quicky took action and helped to foster a "re-evangelization" among many of the ethnic populations there.

From the Last Will and Testament of Blessed Stanislaus Papczyński (1631-1701),
Founder of the Marians
Beatified September 16, 2007

BLESSED JOHN PAUL II TO THE MARIANS
(1981 - 2005)

Follow faithfully his example and spread Marian devotion all around you. (...)" more...
