Founder and Father
Jean-Claude Colin was born near St Bonnet le Troncy, France, Aug 07, 1790, as the French Revolution began its reign of terror.
His quiet ambition to be a priest amongst the oppressed Catholic people of his nation was realised at his ordination in the city of Lyons on Jul 22, 1816.
The next day he was one of twelve young men promising to found a religious family bearing the name of Mary— ‘Marists’.
There would be branches of priests, sisters,
brothers and laity.
The young Colin became the founder of the Marist Fathers and worked tirelessly to promote all branches of the Marist Family.
In 1836 the priests’ branch was approved by the Holy See as Fr Colin offered to send missionaries ‘to whatever distant shore’ including the remote missions of the south-west Pacific.
As the father of the blossoming group of missionaries Fr Colin won the affection and respect of the pioneer Marists as the infant Society of Mary, under his leadership as superior general, expanded
in numbers, ministries and extraordinary missionary influence.
Spending the latter years of his life perfecting the rule and constitutions of the Marist Fathers, he died at La Neyliere, France, on Nov 15, 1875.
His cause for beatification was
reintroduced in 2011.
