The North American Center for Marianist Studies provides resources to people interested in the Marianist Family and to Marianist ministries. Through programs, publications, research, and a special library collection, NACMS strives to link the vision of the Marianist Founders to the contemporary Church and world. NACMS is sponsored by the Society of Mary, a Catholic religious order.
“Let us invest in education…. Let us cultivate relationships! … Let us love justice and peace!” These words from Pope Leo XIV are the guiding principles for the Northeast Marianist Family Council’s discussion of his encyclical, "Magnifica Humanitas," which explores the human person in the age of Artificial Intelligence.
Are you ready to walk the holy ground where our charism was born? NACMS is excited to announce our upcoming Marianist Heritage Tour, taking place October 5–14, 2027. This isn’t just a sightseeing tour; it is a journey into the spiritual DNA of the Marianist Family.
What makes Marianist Leadership both good leadership and also authentically Marianist? This question is at the heart of "Stances of Marianist Leadership: The essential really is the interior," a book written by George Lisjak, the director of the North American Center for Marianist Studies (NACMS).
