The Marianist Founders
In May of 2024, our retreat center hosted a three-part series on the three founders of the Marianist family: Blessed Father William Joseph Chaminade, Venerable Marie Therese de Lamourous, and Blessed Adèle de Batz de Trenquelléon (also known by her religious name Mary of the Conception). We hope you enjoy these informative and inspirational videos that teach us not only who these amazing people were, but also what they have to teach us today!
In our first session, Father George Cerniglia, SM shares about Blessed Father William Joseph Chaminade.
In our second session, Father Sean Downing, SM inspires us with great insight into the mission of Venerable Marie Therese de Lamourous.
In our third session, Brother Jesse O’Neill, SM shares with us the historical and modern-day influence of Blessed Adèle de Batz de Trenquelléon.
