With a shared charism and an inborn devotion to community, it was fitting that Marianist religious celebrated their bicentennials together.
The bicentennial celebration was from May 25, 2016, until Chaminade Day, January 22, 2018.

Bicentennial theme: To know, love and serve
The celebration theme was three verbs that are omnipresent in Marianist text and tradition: To know, love and serve.
These words encompass the dynamic of Marianist spiritual life: To know, love and serve Christ. To know, love and serve Mary. To know, love and serve the Marianist charism.
