What do
Marists in Ireland do?
In Ireland today,
Marists are involved in a wide range of ministries.
Marists
minister in three schools, Chanel
College Coolock and CUS
Leeson Street, both in Dublin and St
Mary's College in Dundalk Co. Louth. The current policy
of the Marist Fathers in relation to these schools is outlined
in the MEA - MARIST EDUCATION AUTHORITY:
Roles Responsibilities and Authority. Marist involvement
in these schools continues at the level of Trustee, members
of Board of Management, principals, Chaplains and teachers.
Marist
Fathers have responsibility for three parishes, St
Teresa's Parish Donore Ave and St
Brendan's Parish Coolock in
Dublin, and Holy Family Parish in Dundalk, Co Louth. . Individual Marists are also curates
in various parishes in the Diocese of Dublin and Armagh. We
also provide church services in CUS Leeson St. and St Mary's
Dundalk.
Marist involvement
in Third Level education is through a number of Marists working
in All Hallows College, Milltown Institute, and Marino Institute of Education.
Individual Marists
work in the areas of Spiritual Direction, Counselling, Social
Ministry, Family Therapy and other Therapies. One Marist is
chaplain in the Irish Army.
Traditionally
nearly a third of Irish Marists have worked abroad in other
mission areas, mostly Oceania. Now as well as Oceania, Irish
Marists have also made themselves available for missionary
work in countries like: Peru/Venezuela, Cameroon/Senegal,
Philippians, Brazil, and the International Team in Notre Dame de France in London.
