Son frère Pierre est désigné par ‘Pierre Colin’. Concernant Jean-Claude Colin, les documents et les sources disent parfois ‘Colin cadet’ car il était le jeune frère de Pierre et tous les deux étaient prêtres maristes. Les relations complexes entre les origines des différentes congrégations maristes ne sont rapportées ici que dans leurs éléments essentiels. PFM – FMS: Le nom plus commun donné aux frères maristes des écoles de Marcellin Champagnat était Les petits frères de Marie (PFM), pour devenir après 1863 fratres maristae a scholis (FMS). Originalement ils faisaient partie de la grande Société de Marie, avec quelque lien vers les frères coadjuteurs qui vivaient avec les prêtres. Ensuite ils sont évolués graduellement vers une congrégation indépendante de frères.1 Françoise Perroton partait pour la mission mariste en Océanie comme première femme en 1845. Dix ans plus tard des membres du Tiers Ordre Mariste ont suivi son exemple. Après des différentes formes d’organisation, elles ont reçu l’approbation papale en 1931 comme les Sœurs Missionnaires de la Société de Marie (SMSM).2 Cette chronique comprend des informations sur l’histoire politique et ec- clésiale en général lorsque cela a de l’importance pour la situation de Colin en France, parfois avec un impact direct.

Colin = Jean-Claude Colin; his brother Pierre is given as Pierre Colin. For Jean-Claude Colin the documents and sources sometimes say ‘Colin cadet’ as he was the younger brother of Pierre and both were Marist priests. The complex relationship of the origins of the different Marist congrega- tions is reflected here only in its basic elements. PFM – FMS: The most com- mon name of the Teaching Brothers founded by Marcellin Champagnat in the beginnings was Petits frères de Marie (PFM) and became after 1863 Fratres maristae a scholis (FMS). Originally a part of the one Society of Mary, with some form of link to the coadjutor brothers staying with the priests, they gra- dually evolved into an independent Brothers congregation.1 Françoise Perro- ton left for the Marist mission in Oceania as the first woman in 1845. Ten years later members of the Marist Third Order followed her. After different forms of organization they finally received papal approval in 1931 as the Mis- sionary Sisters of the Society of Mary (SMSM).2 This chronicle includes information about political and ecclesial history in general in as much it is important for the situation of Colin in France, so- metimes with direct impact.

    216. CHAPTER EIGHT SLOW BUT STEADY RECOVERY When the year 1826 commenced, although Champagnat was gravely ill, he had the consolation of knowing that there were two priests at the Hermitage who could help the Brothers if he himself did not recover his health. Twelve months later, in January 1827, Marcellin found himself alone with his Brothers. Since he had also but recently seen some of his first and most trusted Brothers leave his Institute he knew that it was essential that confidence be restored to his congregation. A few months later, in May, he wrote four letters that indicate the terrible events of 1826 had, as it were, deepened his conviction that his work must proceed. he made it very plain that understood that anyone trying to do what he believed was Gods will would suffer from many obstacles. If Jesus Christ himself had to endure the agony of the cross, Marcellin was convinced that his follow- ers must be prepared for hardship as well. This conviction and an ever more resolute ardour are the fruits that seemed to have ripened during the course of the "terrible year" of 1826. On 27th February 1827 the Archbishop of Lyons had granted permiss ion for any deceased Marist Brothers to be buried in the new cemetery area that Marcellin had planned since the Prefect of Loire had granted civic authorisation for such the previous year. The young Brother Come (Pierre Sabot) was the first to be buried in this cemetery.(1) Since Marcellin had founded his congregation of Brothers in 1817 three Brothers had already died before this Hermitage cemetery came about.

    65. CHAPTER FOUR MARCELLIN'S FINAL YEARS OF SEMINARV EVUCATION I n November 1813 Ma rce 11 in entered the Major Semi na ry, St. I renaeus, at Lyon to study theology. In his first year of Theology he was in a class of 84 students. When Marcellin entered this Major Seminary, Pope Pius VII was a prisoner in the castle of FOntainebleau. Napoleon had just suffered his first direct defeat in battle at Leipzig and the seminarians, "Royalist to a man II , (1) discussed the exciting prospect of a Bourbon Restoration. St. Irenaeus seminary had been in existence for 150 years, beginning in 1663 under the direction of Sulpicians. (2) The French Government had confiscated the seminary in 1790 and sold it. It became an arsenal, army ambulance, hospital, bakery and store. The seminarians were dispersed among their families, some continuing to receive instruction secretly, as did Jean-Antoine Gillibert, disguised as a schoolmaster. Ordained in 1803 he was Parish Priest of St.-Genest­ Malifaux where, at his request, in 1834 Marcellin Champagnat opened the 27th school of the Narist Brothers. (3) Cardinal Fesch bought back the old seminary from the government in 1805. 1. s. Hosie, Anonymous Apostle, New York, 1967, P. 28. 2. The Sulpicians had been expelled from St. Irenaeus in December 1811. (Coste & Lessard, Origines Maristes, Vol. 4, Rome, 1966, p. 87). They had previously been expelled on 15th January 1791, having refused the oath of loyalty to the constitution. The last Ordination, that of 8 Deacons and 7 Priests, took place at Neuville on 9th April 1791.

  • ABEL, BROTHER: Jean Etienne Dumas, Born in 1799 in the Parish of Bessey, District of Pélussin, Loire, to Antoine Dumas and Marguerite Melier
    “Répertoires”, Raymond Borne/Paul Sester, Translated by Leonard Voegtle, as “References” ABEL, BROTHER: Jean Etienne Dumas, born in 1799 in the parish of Bessey, district of Pélussin, Loire, to Antoine Dumas and Marguerite Melier. He entered the novitiate of N.- D. de I’Hermitage on 25th September 1824, and received the habit on 3rd April 1825. He probably spent the rest of that year studying at the Hermitage. In 1826, we find him among the assistant teachers at Saint-Paul-en-Jarret, with Bro. Bernardin and Bro. Benjamin (AFA, 2 14.64.2). We do not know how long he remained there. What we do know is that alter the death of Bro. Bernardin, in 1830, the latter was replaced by Bro. Louis, who found Bros. Xavier and Benjamin already there (AFA, 214.93.10). Bro. Abel had therefore left, perhaps during the 1829 vacation, since at that time he replaced Bro. Antoine as director in Saint-Symphorien-le-Château, “where he remained until 1836, despite the many difficulties which were created for him” (AFA, 2 14.93.10). In fact, according to L. 123, Bro. Avit has his date wrong, since Bro. Abel must have left that assignment in 1835, when he left the Institute. He then proceeded to open a public school right there in Saint-Symphorien. The principal citizens, with the parish priest at their head, felt that one school in the area was quite enough. They suggested a competition between the brothers and Dumas, announcing that they would keep the winner as the one and only official teacher.
