context_page_description: Guillaume-Joseph Chaminade, was a French Catholic priest who survived persecution during the French Revolution and later founded the Society of Mary, usually called the Marianists, in 1817. He was beatified by Pope John Paul II on 3 September 2000 his feast day is celebrated on 22 January.
  The Marianist Family's other three branches—the married and single men and women of the Marianist Lay Communities, the consecrated laywomen of the Alliance Mariale, and the Religious Sisters known as the Daughters of Mary Immaculate—also look to Chaminade as a founder or inspiration.
context_section_description: The process of inquiry for the cause of Chaminade's canonization was opened in 1909, with testimony taken in France and Spain, the locales of his life until 1912. The cause was submitted to Rome by the Marianists in 1918. Study on the matter continued until 1973, when Chaminade was declared Venerable by Pope Paul VI.
