Marist Brothers of the Schools (Champagnat Marists)

[Cloisters]

June 6 is the memorial of St. Marcellin Champagnat. He started his Marists after being called to the bedside of a dying 17 year-old. The child barely knew anything about the Christian faith, and St. Champagnat was determined to change that for others. His congregation is now international in scope. Here is the Pacific Region website:
