This searchable online collection is a compilation of letters either penned directly by Chaminade or dictated by him to a personal secretary and signed by the Marianist Founder. Focused primarily on administrative duties, the pressing matters of the day, and spiritual direction, "Letters of Father Chaminade" also provides a rare look at Chaminade, the man, not by way of autobiographical self-disclosure but by the practical and psychological temperament of his decision-making in light of the significant demands placed upon him.
