Marist Association of St Marcellin Champagnat

The Marist Association of St Marcellin Champagnat Limited (MASMC Ltd) is a not-for-profit company limited by guarantee which was formed by the Trustees of the Marist Brothers to provide governance as well as spiritual leadership and formation for those engaged in or associated with the apostolic works, activities and operations of the Marists in Australia.
