Purcell Marian is proud to be a Marianist-sponsored school.

What does it mean to be a Marianist-sponsored school? It means that administration, teaching, and learning are focused around five “Characteristics of Marianist Education.”
A Marianist school:
  • Educates for formation in faith
  • Provides an integral, quality education
  • Educates in the family spirit
  • Educates for service, justice, and peace
  • Educates for adaptation and change
“Religion is not taught; it is communicated. Religion is installed more deeply in the spirits and hearts of the students through the atmosphere that permeates the school than through teaching." - Blessed William Joseph Chaminade, founder of the Marianist Family.
