Father Chaminade and the Church

Father Eduardo Benlloch, SM, writes about how Chaminade’s contemplation of the mystical body of Christ became combined with his charismatic vision of the figure of Mary in the eternal plan of God.

Mary and Faith

"She [Mary] is my friend, my mother, and my mentor. I want other young mothers to know Mary as I know her and through her share their memories and stories."

Why Should We Dedicate Ourselves to Mary?

This is a fair question. After all, our entire religion is centered in Jesus. Why do we have to do anything else, except to listen to his Word and follow it?

Opening New Doors to Our Knowledge of Blessed Father Chaminade

Brother Tom Redmond, SM, traces the origins of the conflicting time periods for Chaminade’s founding inspiration for the Society of Mary. Was it 1787 or 1797? The result of Brother Tom’s analysis is a “new door,” a deeper understanding, into the Marian dimension of the Marianist charism.
