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. The fruits of our labor yielded an increase in vocations to the priesthood and religious life.

In turn, we are able to minister to those most in need on virtually every continent, serving in many hardship areas around the globe. more...

SURVEY 2010

Dear Confreres:

The pre-Chapter Committee documents accompanied by the General Superior’s introductory letter have been sent recently to all houses of our Congregation by post and e-mail. We are also placing those documents online to make them readily available and to provide an opportunity to fill the survey electronically. However, we’d like to remind you that the survey must be printed, inserted in the envelope that came in the mail, sealed, and delivered to the House Superior. The House Superiors will send to the General Curia in Rome all responses to the survey in one collective envelope. It is recommended to read the document entitled “The Marian Garb” before answering the survey.

JOHN PAUL II TO THE MARIANS (1981 - 2005)

"Faithful, moreover, to the charism that contradistinguishes you, be children devoted to the Immaculate Conception. (...) As is known, your Founder, Blessed Stanislaus of Jesus and Mary Papczyński, knew how to spread and defend with courage the truth of the Immaculate Conception even before it was defined as a dogma of faith. Follow faithfully his example and spread Marian devotion all around you. (...)" more...
