The celebration of the 200th anniversary of the founding of our Institute is an exceptional occasion to bring to light this document The Marist Evangelizing Action in Higher Education. Just as two centuries ago, Marcellin Champagnat and his early brothers contemplated and responded to the clamors of the youth in need of post-revolutionary France of the XVIII century, the present Marist generations are invited to meet the urgencies of the young world in its context and to be proclamation of the Good News and the project dreamed by God from always.
Thus, we find in the following pages a guiding text that offers, in the light of the Gospel and the recent teaching of Pope Francis, some of the main keys to what Marist evangelizing action should be in its higher education institutions for the coming times.
