   > Also known as Guillaume Joseph Chaminade   
   >   
   >   Priest and Founder of the Society of Mary, usually called the   
   > Marianists, in 1817, Reformer, evangeliser, teacher, missionary. The   
   > Marianist Family’s other three branches—the married and single men and   
   > women of the Marianist Lay Communities, the consecrated laywomen of   
   > the Alliance Mariale and the Religious Sisters known as the Daughters   
   > of Mary Immaculate. Born on 8 April 1761 at Perigeux, France and died   
   > on 22 January 1850 of natural causes in Bordeaux, France. Patronages –   
   > the Marianists, Marian sodalities.

   > Bl. William Joseph Chaminade (he took the name Joseph as his   
   > Confirmation name and preferred it) was born in Périgueux, France, in   
   > 1761. He was the 14th child of a deeply Christian family – besides   
   > William Joseph, three of his brothers were priests. In 1771 he entered   
   > the minor seminary of Mussidan and four years later made private vows   
   > of poverty, chastity and obedience. He was ordained a priest in 1785.   
   >   
   > In 1790 after the outbreak of the French Revolution, he moved to   
   > Bordeaux, where he spent most of his life. In 1791 he refused to take   
   > the oath of the so-called Civil Constitution of the Clergy and   
   > clandestinely exercised his priestly ministry, putting his life in   
   > constant danger. At this time he came to know the Ven. Marie-Thérèse   
   > Charlotte de Lamourous (1754-1836), who was one of his closest   
   > collaborators and whom he later helped to found the Miséricorde in   
   > Bordeaux to aid fallen women. In 1795 he was given the delicate task   
   > of receiving back into the Diocese, priests who, having taken the   
   > constitutional oath, wanted to make their peace with the Church. He   
   > facilitated the reconciliation of some 50 priests.   
   >   
   > In 1797, during the reign of the Directorate, he was forced to   
   > emigrate to Zaragoza, Spain, where he lived for three years. Near the   
   > Shrine of Our Lady of the Pillar, he forged his Marian-apostolic   
   > convictions and was inspired to found a family of religious and laity   
   > dedicated to Mary. In November 1800 he returned to Bordeaux and   
   > re-founded the old Marian Sodality on a new basis.   
   >   
   > He made every effort to give his sodalists solid religious formation   
   > and directed them towards precise apostolic objectives, encouraging   
   > them to offer, to an indifferent and de-Christianised society, “the   
   > spectacle of a people of saints.”  This sodality would be the basis of   
   > his untiring evangelising activity, aimed at the re-Christianisation   
   > of France.   
   >   
   > During these years he was named Apostolic Administrator for the   
   > reorganisation of the Diocese of Bazas. In 1801 he received the title   
   > of Missionary Apostolic from the Holy See. It was the official   
   > confirmation of his insights into the Church in this new era. Fr   
   > Chaminade viewed his own ministry and that of the Marian Sodalities as   
   > a permanent mission directed towards formation in the faith, using new   
   > methods and working in close alliance with Mary.   
   >   
   > The Sodality of Bordeaux spread to other cities of the region and   
   > throughout France through groups that asked for affiliation because   
   > they wished to follow Fr Chaminade’s inspiration and methods. He   
   > fostered some groups of young men and women who, desiring greater   
   > dedication, made private vows and dedicated themselves to the   
   > apostolate of the Sodality without leaving their secular work.   
   >   
   > In 1816, together with the Ven. Adèle de Batz de Trenquelléon   
   > (1789-1828), he founded at Agen the Institute of the Daughters of Mary   
   > Immaculate and the following year, at Bordeaux, the Society of Mary.   
   > His first members, who would later be called Marianists, were members   
   > of the Marian Sodalities, men and women who wished to respond to the   
   > Lord with a more radical commitment, an extension of their baptismal   
   > consecration and of their devotion to the Virgin Mary.   
   >   
   > The two institutes developed rapidly in France and in 1839 received   
   > the decretum laudis from Pope Gregory XVI. Since teaching was a   
   > primary need at that time, both institutes of Marianists, dedicated   
   > themselves to primary and secondary schools and to trade schools. They   
   > taught in order to educate and form their pupils in the faith. Fr   
   > Chaminade also conceived an ambitious project to establish a network   
   > of teachers’ schools for Christian education. Some of these schools   
   > were founded by sisters and brothers but the 1830 Revolution made   
   > their continuation impossible.   
   >   
   > During these years Fr Chaminade gave priority to drafting the   
   > Constitutions and wrote important circulars on consecration-covenant   
   > with Mary and on Marianist religious life. The Society of Mary   
   > continued to grow in France, then in Switzerland (1839) and the United   
   > States of America (1849). After 1836 the Daughters of Mary established   
   > a number of rural schools in south-western France for the education   
   > and advancement of women.   
   >   
   > The last 10 years of his life were a time of severe trial – health   
   > problems, financial difficulties, the departure of some disciples,   
   > misunderstandings and distrust, obstacles to the exercise of his   
   > mission as founder. He faced these difficulties with great confidence   
   > in Mary, faithful to his conscience and to the Church, filled with   
   > faith and charity. He died peacefully in Bordeaux, surrounded by many   
   > of his sons, on 22 January 1850. … Vatican.va   
   >   
   > Since his death, his orders and apostolates have spread throughout the   
   > world and have consistently been sources of evangelisation and   
   > conformity to the Catholic Faith.  Blessed William was Beatified by St   
   > Pope John Paul II on 3 September 2000, after the confirmation of   
   > miracles due to his intercession.
