SOCIETY OF MARY (Marianists)
Missionaries of Mary…
Forming Disciples of Christ
The Province of Meribah welcomes you to our website as we share our faith and our vocation as Marianists. We are members of an international Catholic religious congregation of Brothers and Priests, the Society of Mary (Marianists), founded in 1817 by Fr. William Joseph Chaminade. We form communities dedicated to bringing others to Christ, as Mary, our Blessed Mother, did. We seek to grow in holiness as Sons of Mary. Christ is the center of our life as we strive to become more like Him.
We specialize in the education of young people of Long Island, New York, helping them to grow as persons; developing their talents and their faith. We invite you to explore our life and works as you navigate these pages. As you do, you may also contemplate your own faith and perhaps, God may be calling you too!

Hope for Everyone
by Matt Maher
Though the liturgical season of Christmas has come and gone, the blessings of Jesus’ birth, do not cease when the tree is down and the decorations are back in storage! In fact, the joy has just begun! The Incarnation, above all, is a source of great and continuous hope, since we see before our eyes, in a concrete way, that God truly loves us and nothing is too great for God to offer us, so that we may be saved. Like the Magi, let us feel drawn to the light which has come from God, is God, and brings Hope for Everyone!

Conforming to the Fire, with patience
The whole of our spiritual life can be seen as a patient preparation for the soul to receive more deeply the love of God. And, in the same way that a dry log catches fire more easily than a wet one, so the soul responds more immediately to the impulse of God the more prepared it is by the Holy Spirit.
