"The religious institute of the Marist Brothers of the Schools has educated thousands of young Australians since the first four brothers arrived in 1872. That influence continues today in the 56 schools of Marist Schools Australia, in youth care provided by Marist180, in the outreach of Australian Marist Solidarity and in thousands of lay Marists, colleagues and ex-students. For all of these, ‘Sub Tuum Praesidium’ has been their traditional hymn for occasions of solemnity and celebration. The authors, all Marist Brothers, write from a broad experience of the Marist mission locally and internationally. They trace the development of the Marist Institute in Australia and identify the contributions of many Marist Brothers and their colleagues. It’s a story of development and fruitful adaptation, along with failures and shame." -- Publisher website
