Founders’ Week Celebrates Community and Service “LET US THEN COURAGEOUSLY PUT OURSELVES TO WORK, NOT LETTING OURSELVES BE FRIGHTENED BY THE GREATNESS OF THE TASK. LET US THINK ONLY OF WHAT WE ARE DOING AT THE MOMENT, OF DOING IT WELL, FOR IT IS ONLY IN THE FIDELITY AND PERFECTION WITH WHICH WE DO OUR ORDINARY ACTIONS THAT OUR PROGRESS IN VIRTUE CONSISTS.” –ADÈLE DE BATZ DE TRENQUELLÉON, LETTERS, AUGUST 3, 1814.
It is in this spirit that once a year, the Chaminade 'ohana comes together to celebrate and honor the three Marianist founders — Father Chaminade, Mother Adèle and Marie Thérèse. The week-long winter celebration incorporates moments of fun, fellowship and prayer — and of course, moments where we “put ourselves to work” to serve our community.
