As a new member of a Marianist Lay Community, I’m interested in reading about “community” as lived in the Marianist Family. Do you have a reading list on this topic?

Being local to Dayton, may I pick up my order at the NACMS office to avoid paying for shipping?

Do I need to seek permission to copy or distribute NACMS material?

Do you have discounts for bulk orders of publications?

Prices for your books seem so low compared to what we pay in bookstores these days. Do I have an outdated price list?

Which biographies of the Founders of the Marianist Family do you recommend? I see there are several listed on your price list.

Featured Publications

Landscape: A History of Mount St. John

In Landscape: A History of Mount St. John, Brother Donald Geiger, SM, takes the reader on a historical journey of this beloved Marianist sacred space. In words and in pictures Brother Don charts how the Mount has “developed” as apostolic needs have shifted. From a firsthand perspective, Brother Don, a plant biologist, also tells the story of how parts of this beautiful landscape became protected land.

Our Marianist Heritage

Joseph Stefanelli, SM, discusses Father Chaminade’s spirituality, its scriptural and historical underpinnings, Mary and some of her titles, and the concept of community within the institute and within the Church as a whole.
