Abstract
This article explores the challenges the Marists faced in establishing Catholic education in Oceania. It begins with an account of the efforts to gain approval for the Society of Mary. The arrival of the first group of Marist brothers in Sydney is described as well as the prejudice they faced in the early days. The need to respond to educational changes is outlined together with the brothers' commitment to professional development. Although the difficulties may have been dispiriting, the brothers' loyal and devoted service to the Catholic community offered their students a chance to make a positive contribution to society.
