The Heritage Era of Marist College
Welcome... The following digital history of Marist College is
presented to show the long heritage and the strong bond that
exists between Marist College and the Marist Brothers.
This bond, which was initially forged in 1905, continues to the
present day. The Marist Brothers not only physically constructed
many of the buildings on the campus, they also imbued the college
with their intellectual principles and religious values. The central
position of Our Lady Seat of Wisdom Chapel and the statues of
their founder, Saint Marcellin Champagnat, throughout the college
grounds, are evidence of this spirituality.
This web site is a testimony to the Marist Brothers' courage,
initiative and devotion to Saint Marcellin Champagnat.
The Marist Brothers, Marists All community and Marist College are
the embodiment of the vision of Saint Marcellin Champagnat to
have a strong educational foundation based on firm Catholic beliefs
and a strong devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary.
Marist College carries on the Marist Brothers' legacy of touching the
minds of young students, inspiring them and giving their lives
meaning. A prayer sums up that mission; "Come into this place of
peace and let its silence heal your spirit. Come into this place of
memory and let its history warm your soul. Come into this place of
prophesy and power and let its vision change your heart."
Take with us a journey of remembrance and discovery.

From the beginning, Marist Heritage has been a collaborative effort.
We appreciate the contributions of the Marist Brothers and the Marists All
community, who by supplying information and personal memories, have given vitality,
scope and depth to this project
Under the guidance and direction of Dr. Brian Henry Desilets, the initial web pages
were designed and created by the following Marist College students: Michele van
Brero (Hermitage, St. Peter's, Kieran Gate House, Greystone, Marist Brothers
Builders, Our Lady Seat of Wisdom Chapel).....Tage Haun (Bech Homestead, Marian,
Donnelly).....Fang Fang Xu (Boat House, Byrne House, Kirk House).....Courtney Gutt
(Bech Family History).....Vij lyer (Cemetery).....Rahkee Chopra (Fontaine Hall).
All the final Marist Heritage web pages were either created, revised, rewritten
and/or reshaped by John Patrick Noone, who is solely responsible for any errors
contained therein.
We thank Richard Branigan for proofreading the Marist Heritage web pages.
We recognize the contributions of our consultants: John Ansley for his input on the
