History

• The Marist Brothers, the teaching congregation behind PUCRS, were founded in 1817 in France by Saint Marcellin Champagnat, whose programme of schooling poor rural children shaped the network of colleges the order later planted in southern Brazil.创建 PUCRS 的圣母小昆仲会是由圣马塞林·尚帕尼亚于 1817 年在法国创立的修会，其面向贫困乡村儿童的教育理念塑造了该会后来在巴西南部兴办的学校网络。
