Description: In this short biography, Father Stefanelli highlights key moments in the life of William Joseph Chaminade. The reader enjoys glimpses along his faith-filled (and at times rocky) path as the Marianist Founder traveled from his life as a young child in Mussidan, France; his exile in Saragossa, Spain; to his beatification 150 years after his death. Chaminade's inspired mission to rechristianize France is as viable today as it was at his first Sodality meeting on December 8th, 1800.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. 31-33).
