On a Friday evening this June, a small group of Marists gathered in Brisbane to celebrate the Feast of Saint Marcellin Champagnat and to share in our annual Moment of Renewal.

The Marist Association is a gift of the Spirit and urges us to bring life to the world. In this moment of renewal, all Association Members recommit themselves to following St. Marcellin as contemporary witnesses of our faith in Christ, and recognise that we become streams of living water, flowing through the personal, communal, and ministry aspects of our lives

Together, in Brisbane, we reflected on our 2026 theme, Full of Grace: Transform the World with God’s Love, and considered how God’s grace continues to shape our lives, our relationships, and our mission.

Inspired by the example of Saint Marcellin, we prayed for the courage to be people of hope, compassion, and presence, making God’s love visible in our communities and in our world.
