On the occasion of the upcoming Marianist Patronal Feast of the Annunciation on March 25, 2025, the World Council of the Marianist Family sent this letter to all Marianist Religious communities. Below is an excerpt from the letter.
Dear Members of the Marianist Family,
It is with immense joy that we turn to you to celebrate our patronal feast together. This date, which commemorates the Solemnity of the Annunciation of the Lord, offers us a privileged occasion to reflect on our identity, our charism, and our shared mission.
March 25 is a day that calls us to renew our commitment to the values that identify us as a spiritual family, a family called to live and transmit the faith in a Marian style. It is also a time to give thanks for the gift of belonging to this great charismatic family and to strengthen the bonds of fraternity that unite us. Thus, we invite you to observe this date actively. May this day be an opportunity to renew our covenant with Mary, strengthen our community life and rekindle our commitment to the mission.
May Mary, our Mother and Guide, intercede for each one of us and accompany us on our journey as a Marianist Family. United in faith and love, let us continue to build together the Kingdom of God.
