On October 28, 1816, newly appointed parish priest St. Marcellin Champagnat was called to see the 17-year-old Jean-Baptiste Montagne. Montagne, a product of years of war and poverty in France, lacked even the most basic knowledge of the Catholic faith. His tragic ignorance deeply affected Marcellin, who vowed to prevent other young people from suffering the same fate. This encounter inspired him to found the Brothers and dedicate himself to providing quality Catholic education for all children, regardless of their circumstances.
