Fr Champagnat was also a model for parents and teachers, helping them to look with hope at young people, to love them with a total love which fosters their true human, moral and spiritual formation. Marcellin Champagnat also invites us to be missionaries, to make Jesus Christ known and loved as the Marist Brothers did even in Asia and Oceania.
With Mary as our guide and Mother, the Christian is a missionary and the servant of human beings. Let us ask the Lord to give us a heart that burns like that of Marcellin Champagnat, to recognize him and to be his witnesses.

He lived among them, teaching them how to live as a religious community, and how to care for and educate young people.
His educational philosophy was a simple one: to teach children one must love them. So from the start, Marist schools became happy places, with a friendly teaching atmosphere in which relationships among teachers and students were easy and open, and inclusiveness was the benchmark — everyone was welcomed and loved.
