Champagnat Day
June 5 - June 6
Saint Marcellin Joseph Benedict Champagnat (20 May 1789 – 6 June 1840) was born in Le Rosey, village of Marlhes, near St. Etienne (Loire), France.
He was the founder of the Marist Brothers, a religious congregation of brothers in the Catholic Church devoted to Mary and dedicated to education. His feast day is 6 June, his death anniversary.
So 6 June of every year, Xjays have a reunion at Marist Brothers’ Juniorate Uturu, Abia State. The turn out is usually awesome and this year will not be different as we are commissioning five (5) Electronic school board.
