Nourished by Ignatian spirituality, the sisters are contemplatives in action, with a spirit of availability like Mary Our Lady. The mission of the Company of Mary Our Lady is education in the faith that bears fruit in the works of justice. On May 15, 1949, the Catholic Church canonized Saint Jeanne de Lestonnac as a model for young people, mothers and apostolic women religious. A Life-Long Path of Sanctity Jeanne de Lestonnac was born in Bordeaux, France in 1556. She was the first born of Richard de Lestonnac, a member of the city’s Parliament, and Jeanne Eyquem de Montaigne, the sister of the renowned philosopher, Michel de Montaigne. She grew up during the time when the Wars of Religion tore the country apart and her own family was divided and conflicted in its beliefs. Jeanne found two staunch supporters of the Catholic faith in her father and her uncle, Michel de Montaigne. Jeanne’s faith continued to grow in her adolescent years. It was a faith that had been tested, nurtured, and confirmed. The Spirit fed her interior growth. In her heart, she heard the words: “Do not allow the flame I have enkindled in your heart to be extinguished...” Wife and Mother Although Jeanne aspired to be a religious sister, the dangers of the religious wars were not conducive to fulfilling this desire. She married Gaston de Montferrant with whom she shared her life as his wife for 24 years and was blessed with seven children. The death of her husband and oldest son brought deep pain and sorrow. This was soon followed by the deaths of her beloved father and her uncle. A Mystical Experience With her children grown, Jeanne once again sensed a call from God to religious life. In 1603, at the age of 46, she entered the Cistercian Convent in Toulouse. Although her desire to follow this new life was indisputable, her physical health was not able to endure the austere practices. On the night of her departure she experienced a profound inner vision showing that God needed her for something else. She must respond to a multitude of young souls in danger of being lost. Jeanne knew deep in her heart that it was she who must extend her hand to them. In this experience Mary was also present as a source of inspiration and strength. For Jeanne, it was a call to a two-fold commitment: to extend her hand to young people in need and to live a life inspired by the virtues of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Foundress of the Company of Mary Our Lady After leaving the Cistercian Monastery, Jeanne began a process of discernment and reflection during which time she conceived of a new religious institute that would respond to her present- 6 day situation. Jeanne was aware of the urgent need for the education of women. On April 7, 1607, Saint Jeanne de Lestonnac received the official approbation from the Church for the foundation of the first Religious Institute of women with a unique apostolic character and dedicated to active ministry in education. The Company of Mary Our Lady was born. Mary was key in the development of this new Religious Order and so the Order was placed under her protection. Over the past 400 years, the Company of Mary Our Lady has grown and expanded worldwide. It is characterized by its universality and dynamism, adapting and responding to the needs of new situations in each period of history through its service of education. “To serve in a way that is always new.” 7 Introduction to Saint Jeanne de Lestonnac Catholic High School Rooted in Faith – Forward in Excellence – Committed to Service Mission Statement The mission of Saint Jeanne de Lestonnac Catholic High School is to prepare youth and young adults of faith who are leaders at the service of others.

Roman Martyrology: In Bordeaux, France, St. Jeanne de Lestonnac, who, as a child, refused the invitation and efforts of her mother to draw her away from the Catholic Church and, being widowed and after educating her five children, founded the Society of the Sisters of the Company of Mary, in imitation of the Society of Jesus, Christian education for girls (1640 ) . Canonization date: May 15, 1949 by Pope Pius XII SHORT BIOGRAPHY Born December 27, 1556 at Bourdeaux, France. She married Gaston de Montferrant, Baron of Landiras, in 1572 at age 16. Mother of seven, five of whom lived to adulthood; two of the five entered religious life. Widowed at age 41, she ran the affairs of her estate and castle by herself. Believing that her obligations to the world were finished, she entered a Cistercian house at Toulouse, France at age 46. She was not up to the rigors of the order’s discipline, became seriously ill, and wanted to die at the monastery; her superiors refused to allow it. On her last night at the monastery, she had a vision of Mary who presented an image of Jeanne helping lost children. Returning to her estate, she slowly started this work with local women and priests which led to the foundation of the Sisters of the Company of Mary, devoted to the education of girls and slowing Calvinism. It was approved by Pope Paul V on 7 April 1607; Joan was elected superior in 1610.

Elle appartenait à ce milieu humaniste qui a donné à une société en recherche de son identité et de sa vocation, les bases intellectuelles et spirituelles sur lesquelles nous avons vécu jusqu'à nos jours, et qui sur bien des points subsisteront à travers les crises de notre temps. Educatrice, elle a ouvert de nouvelles voies à la formation des intelligences et des cœurs. Elle a contribué puissamment à découvrir les moyens de tirer l'éducation des femmes d'une confusion mentale trop longtemps prolongée. A cette fin, elle a recueilli les expériences tâtonnantes faites jusque là.

Apart from Arnaud Communay’s “Genealogical Essay”, as he himself noted (1889: v), the Montferrands of the Bordeaux region have been neglected.1 The present approach to their history initiated in research on the Château de Landiras, whose baronial family tended to heiresses until one of them married a Montfer- rand. So began a four-century association of the “first and second baronies of Guyenne”! This first part will describe the socio-geographical settings of the two branches, some of their medieval experiences, and then proceed to presenting the combined genealogies—a task not previously attempted. The second part will narrate their respective and blended subsequent histories.
