Marianist Heritage Week this January 2026

Our Marianist Schools, Universities, Parishes, and Institutions in the US and internationally celebrated Marianist Heritage Week this January.

Whether it is called Founders Week, Chaminade Week, Marianist Heritage Week, or—for some—Marianist Heritage Month, every January, Marianist institutions pause to celebrate the humble yet bold beginnings of the Society of Mary. Across schools, parishes, libraries, and ministries, the Marianist Family once again made visible a living charism—one rooted in faith, community, service, and a deep trust in Mary’s accompaniment.

From St. Louis to Honolulu, San Antonio to Nairobi, it’s a time filled with prayer, creativity, remembrance, laughter, and renewed commitment to the mission entrusted to us by Blessed William Joseph Chaminade.
