FULL OF GRACE – Transform the World with God’s Love
The Marist Mission and Life Formation Team have just released the 2026 Marist Association Programs and Events booklet. Introducing the book, Marist Association Leader, Br Darren Burge, says, ‘This year’s theme FULL OF GRACE – Transform the World with God’s Love, challenges us to go out. When we experience the love of God, we will naturally want to go out and spread this good news too.’
“I encourage you then to participate in this outstanding range of Marist programs and events to know and nurture this grace that is within you. It will enable you to witness to it and transform the world with love.”
The 2026 program offers a rich and diverse range of opportunities, including formation programs and retreats, conferences, symposiums, Marist accreditation and tertiary education units, commitments from Marist Schools Australia and MSA-governed schools, as well as events led by Australian Marist Solidarity and Marist Youth Ministry.
Highlights for 2026 include:
The Association’s annual Marian Lecture in May
The Marist Pilgrimage, featuring a refreshed itinerary
A brand new Marist Fourvière Highlights Tour to Rome and France
You may also wish to consider joining one of our annual retreats:
The Marist Solidarity Retreat in October
The Mid-Winter Retreat in Mittagong in July, led by special guest Br Emili Turu
The Marist Association and Marist Schools Australia continue to be recognised for their excellence in formation experiences. So, whether you're continuing your Marist journey or just beginning, we hope the 2026 offerings inspire you to live with grace - and to share God’s love in your own unique way.
Theme resources are available on the Marist Spirituality Hub website.
