Growing in Wisdom, Service, and Marist Identity
After professing first vows in the Novitiate, young Brothers enter the Scholasticate — a multi-year phase of ongoing formation that integrates academic preparation, apostolic experience, and continued spiritual growth.
Scholastics pursue university studies in education, theology, or related fields while living in a formation community and engaging in supervised apostolic work, usually in Marist schools or youth ministries. This phase prepares them for a lifetime of mission in the Marist spirit.
Three Pillars of Formation
University studies equip young Brothers with professional competencies in education, theology, and pastoral work for our mission centres.
Regular retreats, spiritual accompaniment, and intense community life sustain the interior fire of the scholastic's religious vocation.
Supervised ministry in classrooms and youth programs builds practical skills for the Marist educator-brother as a sign of God's presence.
