WELCOME TO THE SCHOOL OF MARY
ONLINE SPIRITUAL FORMATION SITE

The School of Mary offers an innovative method of formation in spiritual life that is practical and complete. Be empowered to fruitfully respond to the call to holiness through powerful and transformative teaching that is translated into daily practice accessible to all. Learn at your own pace, from any device. 

The Call to Holiness

The mission of the School of Mary is to equip and empower Christian adults in spiritual life, giving them the necessary knowledge and tools to allow their relationship with the Lord to grow and reach its fullness. We do this by offering structured and practical in-person and online formation that is deeply rooted in the living Catholic Tradition and in the teachings of the great spiritual Doctors of the Church, as well as through books, numerous articles and resources.  

Solid Foundations Course

Our key "entrance-gate" course, the Solid Foundations Course, has been transformative in the lives of many - offering the necessary practical knowledge in spiritual life to help us discover and correspond to God's grace on a daily basis. This course is the recommended starting point in your spiritual formation with the School of Mary. 

Intentional Formation

The School of Mary offers spiritual formation that is intentionally structured to correspond to the journey of growth in the spiritual life. Students are equipped to move from a 'random' spiritual life, to a 'responsible' spiritual life - where they proactively cooperate with the grace of God in the various stages of growth. The School of Mary's Three Year Formation Plan corresponds to the three main stages of spiritual life that lead us to union with God and the fullness of love. Read more here...

"Jean’s talk to us had a profound effect on me.  It was perhaps the best talk I have heard about the spiritual life, and as you can imagine I have heard a lot of spiritual talks in my life.  What he presented was so inspirational and full of the Holy Spirit, including his vision of how people like you and me could grow in holiness following the examples of Our Blessed Lady and the saints.  I felt that what Jean was doing in the School of Mary is of vital importance to the Church.”

Rev. Fr. Michael Doyle

 " Although I received graduate training in Spiritual Theology  many years ago, the clarity, simplicity and depth of the teaching found in the School of Mary have unleased vitality in my prayer life and in the practice of charity. The energy of the Fathers, the Doctors of the Church, pontiffs and saints of the ages are warmly revealed in the School’s courses, publications and videos. I encourage you to visit the website, review the  curricula and begin your own pilgrimage with the School of Mary.

 "The School of Mary has been a life changing blessing for me! The School brings the way of the great spiritual mystics alive, and has shown me this way is meant for all the faithful, not only those in cloistered life. I have served as a Eucharistic Minister and Lector for years, but meeting Jesus in the Mass and Scripture has never been more alive to me! My prayer life has never been more deep and enriched. Learning the full practice of Lectio Divina has helped me grow in ways I did not realize were possible. God Bless the School of Mary!
