Marist Sisters throughout the world are today recalling with deep gratitude the life of their foundress Jeanne-Marie Chavoin on the anniversary of her death, 30th June 1858. Her love of God, her simplicity, her generosity and her outreach to those in need inspires us to follow her example of following Christ as Mary did.

“Each one of the children

of her Society

must apply herself

to live the life

of this divine Mother

which is none other

than the life of Jesus Christ.”

(CMJ 18.1)
