Marianists

Camp History

For nearly a century, Marianist Brothers, Priests, & Sisters and their lay associates have staffed a camp where youth experience the outdoors under the skilled direction of caring adults. The Camp was founded in 1937 near Comfort Texas before moving to its current location in 1951. The camp has maintained a long history under the guidance of the Marianist mission.

The Society of Mary

Dedicated to forming people and communities of faith The Society of Mary (Marianists) is an international Roman Catholic religious congregation of brothers and priests. About 230 members of the Province of the United States serve in ministries from Honolulu to Puerto Rico, and in Eastern Africa, India, Ireland and Mexico.

Marianist Charism:

We are people of faith

As spiritual individuals, Marianists carry out God’s will in our service to others.

We are followers of Mary

Marianists view Mary as the model of discipleship. Just as Mary gave birth to Jesus, Marianists seek to bring the presence of Jesus to life within us and others.

We are people of community

Marianists believe that living, praying and supporting one another in community enriches our faith and strengthens our ability to meet world challenges – especially problems associated with poverty and ignorance.

We are a discipleship of equals

Brothers and priests share equal status within the Society of Mary. Priesthood is viewed as a ministry, not a “step up the ladder.”

We are leaders in mission

The Marianist mission is to bring Christ to the world and to work for the coming of his kingdom.
