Jean-Claude Colin, founder of the Marist Fathers

The Marist Fathers were founded by Jean Claude Colin in France. The first community was established at Cerdon in the department of Ain during 1824, soon after the first Marists promised to begin the Society of Mary.
When I say " I am a Marist " I am saying that I have placed my life under the name of Mary.  This article was published in French, by Gaston Lessard, in the Bulletin du Sanctuaire Saint Pierre Chanel, Cuet, No 3 Juillet 1999 and was originally entitled " Saint Pierre Chanel, Mariste; La Place de Marie dans la Vocation Mariste " ;  article translated by Chris Whelan, marist.
