About
The so-called “Marist Places” are villages, towns, chapel, churches, cathedrals, tombs, graveyards, countryside and people that are significant for Marists as they form part of the foundation story. Visiting the Marist Places for a Marist, is like unfolding part of a family tree, or “coming home”, and it’s a vehicle to understanding better the story and on-going mission of the Society of Mary.
Initially, this website seeks to do two main things.
- introduce the Marist Places
- provide a day-to-day experience of one groups pilgrimage
While on a pilgrimage many things happen that are personal to people. This is not meant to be a personal journal, rather it’s the human story of the group. In telling the story this way we hope to make the Marist Places more available.
The Marist Places website is a work-in-progress. At this point there are probably some typos, some of the sentence construction may be a bit loose. However our prime task it to be involved in the pilgrimage, so we ask your forgiveness. We’ll tidy it up later.
Also later, there maybe the opportunity to add to this site, perhaps enabling a self-guided guided pilgrimage, or even a virtual pilgrimage. Time will tell.
