Our motto 'Learn, Lead, Serve' well reflects the above.Guillaume-Joseph Chaminade, (Perigueux, 8 April 1761 - Bordeaux, 22 January 1850) was a French Catholic priest who survived persecution during the French Revolution and later founded the Society of Mary, usually called the Marianists, in 1817. He was beatified by Pope John Paul II on September 3, 2000, his feast day is celebrated on January 22.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 Mari-ale, and the Religious sisters known as the Daughters of Mary Immaculate—also look to Chaminade as a founder or inspiration.

Chaminade was born in 1761 in Perigueux to Catherine Bethon and Blaise Chaminade, in the former province of Perigord, now the Department of Dordogne.  He was the 14th child of deeply religious parents. Three of his brothers became priests. Feeling called to serve in this way as well; he entered a minor seminary in Mussidan at the age of ten. He was ordained a priest in 1785 for the local diocese.   He took the name Joseph as his confirmation name and preferred that to William.  When he was 10 years old he went to the college of Mussidan (one of his brothers was a professor) and he remained there for 20 years as a student, teacher, and chaplain.  He was a priest during the persecution and violence against the Church during the French Revolution.  He was exiled to Zaragoza, Spain from 1979 to 1800 and lived near the Shrine of Our Lady of the Pillar and he received a message telling him to be Mary's missionary, to found a society of religious to work with Mary to restore the faith in France.  He returned to Bordeaux in November 1800 and founded the sodalities of Our lady.  The Sodality gathered all Christians - men, women, young, old, lay and clergy -- to follow Christ unafraid and committed to living and sharing the faith working under the protection of the Blessed Virgin Mary.  They had a special consecration to Mary and as an outward sign of this fourth vow; they wore a gold ring on their right hand.  In the next years, he did much with France and the order.  The order grew and they began teaching in schools.  They spread to Switzerland and the United States.  They established themselves in Dayton, Ohio in 1849 and Somerset, Texas in 1949.  Blessed William Joseph Chaminade died on January 22, 1850 and was beatified by Pope John Paul II on September, 2000 in Rome.
