If you are interested in making a difference in the lives of young people and feel called to a spiritual life centered on community and prayer, then welcome! First, it is important for you to get to know yourself and our community before applying to enter the Marist Brothers. Our Vocation Process, ACCOMPANIMENT and DISCERNMENT, are designed to help you to explore your own calling and to determine if MARIST is the right “fit” for you.

Requirements
To consider entering the Marist Brothers, you must be:
• a practicing baptized and confirmed Catholic
• between the ages of 18 and 40
• a college graduate (or be in the process of obtaining a degree)

In addition, an individual should possess:
• a desire to know and serve God
• an ability to get along with others and to live with others
• a willingness to develop a prayer life
• an enthusiasm to serve others

To be accepted as a Marist Postulant in Initial Formation, one must be 21 years of age.

There are two stages in our process designed to assist a man in his discernment of Marist religious life, Accompaniment and Discernment.
