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.
