.CLER|CS Of ST. V|ATOR
Founded in France by Father Queries
Over Fifty Years in Canada
Came to America in 1965-CoIIeues
at Bourbonnais, ILL.,, and Chamber
lain, S. Omissions Given in the
Northwest.

The community of St. Viator, whose
members are about to enter the mis-
sion field in America, arose in the
early nineteenth century out of a need
felt by secular priests for aid to arrest
and repair the ravages of the Reign of
Terror in their f1ocks, and to help
them stem the rising tide of unbelief
threatening to sweep away the last
vestiges of religion from the hearts of
men and even women in sequestered
hamlets as well as in populous CEN
tiers of civic and moral revolt. Dis
tinctly and from the beginning the
Parochial Clerics of St. Viator were
both in school and in the pulpit the
adjutants of the secular clergy in the
work of evangelizing, catechizing and
converting young and old, of forming
and reforming, of finding the lost
sheep and bringing back to the fold
those who had strayed away in by
ways of faithless dalliance.
In the 'tLivre dor" of Father Quer-
bes, the sanity founder of the Fathers
of ST. Viator, are found several chap
tiers of special instruction to his priests
on the ministry of preaching and
catechizing and on the conducting of
missions. Here he urges his mission
aries to address themselves to this
great work with an ardent zeal. He
bids them act always in perfect accord
with the pastors, never undertaking
anything contrary to their desires.
In France, where the Viatorians
were first established in the Dio-
