Other organisations: schools, educational institutions and the like are Marist by association with one of the religious orders named above. These may or may not actually bear the name Marist though they bear the spirit or charism described as Marist. The Marist Spirit or Charism is present in the organisation usually because it was instilled in it from its foundation by members of the religious order. Exactly what the Marist Charism is requires definition. As well many Marist Colleges associated with the Brothers of the Schools have significant devotion to the person of the founder of the Marist Brothers, Marcellin Champagnat and may describe the spirit of their organisation more as being of Marcellin rather than as Marist. This devotion to Marcellin would probably shock the saint who would have been keen that his sons and daughters accept the Marist Spirit per se rather than as embodied by him.
