Company of the priests of Saint-Sulpice
The company of the priests of Saint-Sulpice is a apostolic Société of life founded Catholique in 1645 with Paris by Jean-Jacques Olier de Verneuil (1608 - 1657). Its members are called sulpicians, carrying out a common life without wishes. For this reason, they are not regarded as monks. The company is named in the honor of Sulpice the Piles.
The origin of the Company is closely related to the great movement of evangelization and restoration Chrétienne which developed in France at the 17th century. Indeed, the Concile of Thirty had prescribed the creation of Séminaire S (which then did not exist) for a better formation of the Clergé of the catholic Réforme.
In 1641, Jean-Jacques Olier founded a Séminaire with Vaugirard, which followed it when it was named cleaned Paroisse of Saint-Sulpice to Paris. In 1645, to ensure a framing of value its seminar, it founds the company of the priests of Saint-Sulpice. Solicited by many bishop S for their Diocese, it had to send sulpicians until the Canada.
The sulpicians directed great seminars and ensured the continuing education of the Clergé in France, in North America like southern, with the Japan and in Africa. The activity missionary and pastoral of Sulpiciens was particularly important in News-France, where the company ensured in particular the spiritual service of City-Marie, future Montreal, since the seminar of Saint-Sulpice.
The sulpicians are 400, including 185 French. They are known for their Dévotion mariale.
