The '''Marist Brothers of the Schools''', commonly known as simply the '''Marist Brothers''', is an international community of [[Catholic Church|Catholic]] religious institute of [[Religious brother|brothers]]. In 1817, [[Marcellin Champagnat]], a Marist priest from [[France]], founded the Marist Brothers with the goal of educating young people, especially those most neglected. While most of the brothers minister in school settings, others work with young people in parishes, religious retreats, spiritual accompaniment, at-risk youth settings, young adult ministry, and overseas missions. Since the 2010s, several instances of sexual abuse within Marist-run institutions have been reported in [[Chile]], [[Australia]], and [[New Zealand]].[{{Cite web|url=https://www.abuseincare.org.nz/reports/whanaketia|title=Whanaketia – Through pain and trauma, from darkness to light | Abuse in Care - Royal Commission of Inquiry|website=www.abuseincare.org.nz}}][{{cite news | url=https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/new-zealand/2021/03/abuse-in-care-inquiry-woman-sexually-abused-by-marist-brothers-as-a-5yo-calls-apology-a-pr-strategy.html | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210324101015/https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/new-zealand/2021/03/abuse-in-care-inquiry-woman-sexually-abused-by-marist-brothers-as-a-5yo-calls-apology-a-pr-strategy.html | url-status=dead | archive-date=March 24, 2021 | title=Woman sexually abused by Marist Brothers as a 5yo calls apology 'a PR strategy' | newspaper=Newshub }}][{{cite web | url=https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/abuse-in-care-man-seeks-apology-for-historical-abuse-at-whanganui-school/ZPXPC2B3LNG4PXHKQL2ONPM66M/ | title='The community didn't deserve this': Ex-student reveals abuse | date=9 December 2020 }}] |
