Title

Society of Mary - Marist Fathers and Brothers

Description

Excerpted from the website:

John-Claude Colin was born at the time of the French Revolution - a time of turmoil and a split between the Church and French Society. The Revolution also divided the Church, some priests being faithful to Rome, while others pledged allegiance to the constitution. Jean-Claude's parents supported those loyal to Rome; his father openly supporting the parish priest. Consequently an order of arrest was issued against his father, Jacques, who had to hide for a year in fear of his life. His house was boarded up and all his goods were sold. With all this suffering Jean-Claude's mother, Marie died aged 37. Jacques died only three weeks later.
