Marist Volunteers

As people grow in their baptismal commitment, they feel the call to mission beyond their boundaries. We provide a process where those who feel called to take up this task for a time can prepare for such a role, through insertion into Marist mission in the Pacific and beyond.

Volunteer Options:

Immersion  -  Year 13 students from Marist schools.

Gap ‘Year’  -  Immediate post secondary school or during university studies or before work.

Marist Lay Partners  -  Teachers in Marist schools, University gap year.

Champagnat Marist Lay Missionaries  -  Committed Marist Lay Partners.
