The Society of Mary ( Latin : Societas Mariae ) abbreviated SM is a clerical religious congregation of Pontifical Right for men ( brothers and priests ) commonly called the Marianists or Marianist Brothers and Priests. Its members add the nominal letters "'S.M.'" to their names to indicate their membership in the Society. The Society was founded by William Joseph Chaminade , a priest who survived the anti-clerical persecution during the French Revolution . The Society is one of the four branches of the Marianist Family . Along with the other branches, the Marianist Brothers and Priests look to Mary as a model of faith and spirituality. They believe that the best ways to live a spiritual life are to share their faith with others, work with the poor, and educate and nourish the mind, the body, and the soul.
