Trinitarians
Variant namesThe order was founded in 1198 at Cerfroid, in the diocese of Meaux, by St. John of Matha (d. 1213) and St. Felix of Valois (d. 1212). Because of the lack of records early Trinitarian history is unclear. Recent critics have questioned the existence of St. Felix of Valois. The order is dedicated primarily to promoting devotion to the Holy Trinity. Originally its unique apostolate was the redemption of Christians held captive by the Muslims. When slavery was abolished, the Trinitarians became engaged in education, nursing, and pastoral work.
