Mary Working Through Us

American Marists will gather at St. Jean Baptiste Church in Manahttan, NY to celebrate 125 years of Marist
presence in the United States The first brothers came to Canada from France in 1885 and the next year to staff a parish school in Lewiston, Maine. St. Anne's Academy was established in the parish of St. Jean Baptiste at the invitation of the Blessed Sacrament Fathers, in 1892 and taught in their grammar school as well.  These were the first two foundations in New York City.  Mass will be offered in thanksgiving for these 125 years of educating youth in the Marist Way, that is bringing them to Jesus through Mary. We will also pledge to continue this work, so urgently needed today to counterbalance the fast disappearing Christian culture of North America.  With Mary's intercession and our devoted and sincer efforts, we will be successful.
At Fatima in 1916, the Angel of Peace asked that this simple but effective prayer be said at least once a day, but as often as we think of it, to bring about the conversion of sinners.  Russia was the target at that time, but now Russia is undergoing a major return to Christianity while we are slipping away.  As Marists, let us make it our task by prayer, word and deed to re-evangelize our nation, beginning with ourselves, our families, and our parishes, and our communities.  My God, I believe, I adore, I hope and I love You! I  I beg pardon
 for those who do not believe, adore, hope and love You!
