THE MARIANISTS AND OUR HERITAGEBlessed William Joseph Chaminade, a French Catholic priest, founded the Society of Mary (Marianists) in 1817. After the French Revolution, Blessed Chaminade and his associates became key players in the revitalization of Christianity in France. Brothers and priests of the society, known as the Marianists, espoused his ideals and chose education as a means of furthering those ideals throughout the world.Today, the Society is composed of more than 1,400 men engaged in parish work, education, and in other professional works outside the classroom. Marianists are serving others throughout the United States and in a lot more foreign countries. Chaminade-Madonna is one of 16 schools sponsored by the Marianist Province of the United States.
