For 24 hours, the rhythm of prayer carried Marist School’s 125th anniversary celebration from morning Mass through the quiet of the night. Members of the Marist community gathered for a Day of Prayer beginning Wednesday, October 7, on the feast of Our Lady of the Rosary, to give thanks for the generations of students, families, faculty, staff, and priests who have shaped the school.
Following the early morning Mass, the Blessed Sacrament was exposed for adoration in the Blessed Sacrament Chapel within Esmond Brady Memorial Chapel. Bishop Joel M. Konzen, S.M. joined the community in prayer. Each hour began with the rosary, followed by silent prayer and reflection. Adoration continued overnight and concluded with the morning Mass on Thursday, October 8.
Some participants stayed for an hour; others paused for a few moments. Together, they honored the faith at the heart of Marist’s founding and its continuing mission to form the whole person in the image of Christ. Their prayers offered thanksgiving for Marist’s past, lifted up our present community, and entrusted our school's future to God’s care.

We are always grateful for the opportunity to honor and recognize our Marist priests. Last week’s Founders Day Celebration made it especially meaningful to do so in person. Together, these men represent generations of dedicated service to Marist School through faith, teaching, leadership, ministry, and the daily example of living the Marist Way. For 125 years, the presence and guidance of the Society of Mary priests have helped form countless students in the image of Christ, and they continue to inspire the Marist community today. We welcome you to share your favorite memory with the Marist priests in the comments below.

With each signature, Marist School’s trustees renewed a commitment rooted in a promise made by 12 priests in Lyon, France, in 1816. At their first meeting of the 2026–2027 academic year, board members signed a declaration affirming their responsibility to nurture and advance the Marist mission for future generations. Their action echoes a tradition carried forward by Marist missionaries and, since 2025, graduating seniors whose signed scroll is encased within a heart and hung on the Mary statue in Mary's Garden.

For the Marists in Atlanta, it was a simple idea. Build a Catholic school to serve a growing city. The idea became a promise: to form the whole person in the image of Christ. And the promise took root and grew one generation at a time. More than a place of learning, a place of becoming Marist made. Classrooms filled with curiosity and fields alive with hope and high spirit. Young minds shaped not just by knowledge, but purpose and faith. Across the decades, the world changed. And so did we. Our campus moved. Style, sights, and sounds shifted with time. Yet through it all, the Marist identity remained true. Each new face, a page in a living history. Guided by faith and a commitment to excellence. Discovering God-given gifts and sharing them to make a better world. Today, we amplify the Marist mission to ignite our future, forming hearts and minds. Cultivating not only intellect, but compassion. Building community. For 125 years, Marist students have been called to walk alongside those in need and lead with integrity and courage. So now, as we look back with gratitude, we also look forward with excitement because the story of Marist School is still being written with many fine chapters to come.

Today, October 2, marks Marist School’s 125th anniversary, and we are celebrating together with Founders Day Mass, joyful traditions, and a schoolwide birthday celebration. 125 years of becoming Marist made.
