The Greater Marist Community, also known as the GMC, is an informal Marist “fraternity” in the United States. It is composed of people who are, or are seeking to become, imbued with Marist spirit and with the charism of Marcellin Champagnat. Those associated with the group are mostly former Marist Brothers, their spouses and their friends, but the group is not exclusive; many Marist Brothers also participate in its activities. The GMC looks for opportunities to work in cooperation with the Brothers and to further their life and ministry. There are plenty of opportunities to build community through frequent conversation and meals, an annual picnic and other activities.
