Brother James Miller Guild

In every age, the Church has raised up Gospel-witnesses who inspire and touch the lives of others. One such witness is Blessed James Miller, FSC, beatified in 2019.

The story of Brother James’ life and martyrdom needs greater promotion within the Lasallian network and the Catholic Church. At the Second Vatican Council, the Church declared that all are called to be holy: Sanctity is not just the domain of the few.

Long established Church tradition holds that every cause must originate among the people, that is, the faithful of the local church, and be a source to elicit their prayer and devotion. A guild is the traditional association formed to garner and support the popular groundswell of community essential to the goal of the cause: canonization.

The mission of the Brother James Miller Guild will be to promote the cause of Brother James Miller through:

Sharing about Brother James’ life, martyrdom and sanctity with Lasallians and the wider Catholic Church

Increasing the growing devotion and personal holiness of those inspired by Brother James and invoking his intercession on their behalf

Serving as a clearinghouse of resources, articles, videos, photos, icons, prayers related to Brother James’ life and cause

Documenting favors granted due to Brother James’ intercession

Guild Stewardship

The Brother James Miller Guild, housed at Christian Brothers Conference, in the Lasallian Region of North America, is shepherded by an executive committee and guild board, with the support of Christian Brothers Conference staff.

“I see in Brother James’ death the witness of Christ’s love, a witness to the dignity of the human person, and the right to freedom and justice that should be all of ours. … Today we need to take a stand on the rights, especially of the poor. Thank God there are people like Brother James to do that.”

Bishop Frederick W. Freking (†)
La Crosse, Wisconsin, February 18, 1982
