Dr. DeAnda will lead participants in an interactive session discussing messages of universality found in Mary's words in Luke.

"This was SUCH a wonderful highlight of my year."
-Erica Duarte, Marianist LIFE National Coordinator

"This class was more than informative, it was inspirational too. It showed the many ways that Fr. Chaminade struggled with similar challenges to the ones we face today."
-Nancy Woeste, Lay Marianist
Time is running out to register for Part One of the Online Marianist History Course which begins Tuesday February 28th. Click here to see the class meeting times and to register online by February 14.

The Online Marianist History Course is an introduction to the history of the Marianist Family spanning pre-Revolutionary France through the death of Father Chaminade. This course is adapted from the Marianist History Course that is offered to novices in formation with the Marianist Brothers and Sisters. The content of the course is the same; we have simply adapted it for an online format. In the Online Marianist History Course, students will have bi-weekly classes via Zoom with an instructor. Students are also required to complete reading assignments and to post on an online class message board. You can read more answers to frequently asked questions about the Online Marianist History Course by clicking here.
