Careers At MYM
About Marist Youth Ministry
Marist Schools Australia Limited draws together Catholic schools which shape their identity and mission through the spirituality and educational approach that was introduced into the Church by St Marcellin Champagnat in the early nineteenth century, and which has continued to be developed by the Marist Brothers and Lay Marists. Marist Schools Australia Limited provides its member schools with leadership, support and, where applicable, governance, in order that they can continue to be authentic Marist educational communities. The first priority of Marist Schools Australia Limited is to nurture the faith and spirituality of today's Marists, which include not only Brothers but thousands of Lay Marists, and also priests who minister to them.
Marist Youth Ministry’s mission is to make Jesus known and loved. We see MYM as a space to engage youth and young adults, inviting them to an authentic encounter with Christ. Accompanied on their personal and shared journey of life and faith, young people discover the Marian face of the Church. This empowers them, as committed Marists, to be agents of change in the world.
