Physical Description
Arrangement
Arranged into Subgroup by name and/or term of office
History
The Superior General, the highest ordinary authority of the Society, governs and administers the Society according to Church law and the Society of Saint Edmund Constitutions. He is elected, along with a general council, at the Society’s General Chapter. He has charge of appointments to offices and of assigning each religious to reside in a house of the Society. It is the duty of the Superior General to promote the general well being of the Society; to implement Chapter directives; to judge in matters of controversy; to visit and to be available to members of the Society; and to fulfill, in the manner prescribed, those duties specified in Church law and the Constitutions. The Superior General has a General Council with which he must consult in certain instances indicated by the SSE Constitutions. The SSE Consitutions also outline other qualities and conditions that should govern the choice of Superior General. Terms of office have ranged from two to 6 years and have at times, been limited in different ways. Some Superiors General have served for a significant number of years.
Scope
The Superior General record group is divided into subgroups. For Superiors General before 1930 and after 1990, the subgroups are by name. From 1930 to 1990, subgroups are by term of office, not name. Since some Superiors General have served for more than one term, there is more than one subgroup for some Superiors General.

Fr. Pierre Boyer is considered one of the founders of the Society of Saint Edmund. Boyer was born at Noyers, Yonne, France in 1813. While at minor Seminary in Auxerre, he met Fr. John Baptiste Muard, future founder of the Society. Boyer and Muard organized a society among the seminarians to encourage Christian perfection. In 1846, following ten years of service as a parish priest in Pourrain, he resigned his parish and entered the community of missionaries at Pontigny. These auxiliary priests preached missions and conducted retreats throughout the Diocese of Sens. In 1850, after Fr. Muard was formally installed in the monastery at Pierre Qui Vire, his fellow priests named Boyer Superior of the community. While Superior, Boyer administered the formal establishment of the Society as a religious institute on Sept. 29 1852, established the Society’s first seminary, and undertook restoration of the abbey church at Pontigny. In 1867 following many years of growth, Boyer was instrumental in the establishment of the Society’s first new foundation at Mont-Saint-Michel. Boyer directed the reestablishment of the pilgrimage of St. Edmund at Pontigny and the pilgrimage to Mont-Saint-Michel, the issuing of the publication Les Annales du Mont Saint Michel, and the granting of Pontifical Status for the Society. Upon this establishment, Boyer formally became Superior General of the Society and oversaw even further growth, particularly in the area of education. Boyer oversaw establishment of the College De l’Immaculee Conception, as well as the first foray into America at Keelers Bay, Vermont. He died Feb. 17, 1892.
The Boyer subgroup consists of one letter. Other Boyer correspondence may be found in the Historical Files of the SSEA.

Rev. Paul Laproste 1892-1907
Father Paul Laproste was born in Ligny-le-Chatel, France. He entered the Society in Pontigny in 1856 and served most of his years in and around Pontigny. In 1892, following the death of Fr. Boyer, the 1891 Chapter reconvened and elected him Superior General.. He served as Superior General until 1907. During his administration, the Society suffered serious difficulty. France enacted the Law of Association and all houses of the Society were closed. The State confiscated the Society’s property, and the members of the Society dispersed. Laproste oversaw the creation of new foundations in Hitchin, England and in Swanton, Vermont, as well as the founding of Saint Michael’s College in Winooski.
This subgroup consists of correspondence and a small file of Privileges and Dispensations. The correspondence is arranged chronologically and translations for most are filed at the end of each year. The translator, who organized and numbered both the letters and translations, is unknown. Other Laproste correspondence may be found in the Historical Files of the SSEA

Rev. Amand Prével 1907-1912
Fr. Armand Prével was ordained in 1871, following a novitiate at Pontigny. He was assigned to Mont-Saint-Michel and served as an instructor at both Mont-Saint-Michel and the College De l’Immaculee Conception in Laval. In 1893, he founded and was first Superior of St-Michel de Château-Gontier. In 1895, Fr. Laproste sent him to America where he assisted Fr. Aubin in setting up the Swanton foundation. He then returned to France. After expulsion from France under the Laws of Association, Prével begins the work of founding St. Michael’s School (the former école apostolique) in Hitchin, England. He then returned to America where he was instrumental in the first years of the newly formed Saint Michael’s College at Winooski Park. He served as Superior of the Vermont House until elected Superior General in 1907. His term of office was marked by a growth in the Society and creation of the new Constitutions of the Society, approved in May 1911. He died December 9, 1912.

Rev. Jules Garnier 1912-1924
Father Jules Garnier, a native of Parigny, France, was ordained in 1877 after attending school at Mont-Saint-Michel and novitiate at Pontigny. He served primarily around Pontigny, although he did spend some time as the pastor of the Parish at Mont-Saint-Michel. He was the Superior of the French House and acting superior General before elected Superior General in 1913.
Garnier’s term as Superior General was marked by both expansion and dispersal. The Society continued to grow in Vermont, and added another North American mission in Forsythe, Montana. Severe financial problems beset the Society during this time. By 1923, the financial problems were so embedded that Garnier asked for permission to hold an Extraordinary General Chapter. He also requested that the Sacred Congregation of Religious appoint an Apostolic Visitor to the community. At the Extraordinary Chapter, under the direction of Apostolic Visitor Dom Etcheverry, a majority of constituents voted to dissolve the Society and to seek amalgamation with another society. The chapter also elected a new Superior General, Fr. Félix Viannes. (Although Dom Etcheverry exercised extraordinary control over the society for the next ten years.)
This subgroup consists primarily of correspondence, some of which is related to the dissolution of the Society. Correspondence is arranged chronologically, although one file contains a group of letters that were stored together in one envelope. A few translations are available and are filed with the original. Other Garnier correspondence may be found in the Historical Files of the SSEA. Files related to individual missions or apostolates may be found there. While the subgroup does contain a great deal of information related to the dissolution of the society, other related material can be found in the Viannes and Nicolle, 1930-36 subgroups.

Rev. Félix Viannes 1924-1928
The Society educated Fr. Félix Viannes before he entered the novitiate in Pontigny. After ordination, he served on the faculty of his alma mater College De l’Immaculee Conception and as director of the Apostolic School at Mont-Saint-Michel. He was the delegate to the General Chapter in 1913, 1920 and 1924. The 1924 Chapter elected Viannes Superior General after Fr. Louis Cheray declined to serve. Viannes reluctantly agreed to serve and thus oversaw the dissolution of the Society.
Viannes term of office can be characterized as tumultuous. Viannes worked closely with Apostolic Visitor Dom Etcheverry to dissolve the Society. Viannes agreed to the sale of property and oversaw the implementation of amalgamation with the Assumptionists. The Assumptionists received Society property in England and France, and Edmundites joined the Assumptionists on a one-year trial basis. Most Edmundites decided to become Assumptionists or to become diocesan priests. The American communities strongly opposed the dissolution, and Viannes supported their initiative to reverse the Chapter’s decision. Viannes was instrumental in the success of this action, working closely with Rome to ensure the continuation of the Society through the American Province. In 1926, the remnants of the Society purchased a residence in Pontigny, an occurrence Viannes took as a sign of rebirth for the Society. Viannes died in Pontigny in 1928.
The Viannes files are mostly correspondence, much of it related to the amalgamation of the Society and finances. The correspondence series is arranged chronologically. The correspondence is primarily in French, although an English calendar is available.

Rev. Victor Nicolle 1930-1936
Fr. Victor Nicolle was born in Tanis, Manche, France and studied at Mont-Saint-Michel and Laval before beginning his novitiate in Winooski, Vermont. After his ordination, he served at Saint Michael’s College in a number of different positions. He was the American Provincial from 1919-1930 and the1930 General Chapter elected him Superior General, although Apostolic Visitor Dom Etcheverry continued to oversee much of the work of Nicolle for the next six years.
One of Nicolle's first acts as Superior General was to move the General Administration of the Society to Vermont. Members of the Society continued to serve in Pontigny, but new members increasingly came from America. Fr. Nicolle set up a new house of Theology in Putney, Vermont (Theologate, Saint Mary’s). At the invitation of Francis Cardinal Bourne, the Society began a new foundation in England at Whitton under the direction of Fr. Louis Cheray.
This subgroup is primarily correspondence. Of particular interest is correspondence in which Nicolle seeks sites for new missions. The material is arranged chronologically. An English calendar is available for the correspondence, although the correspondence itself is primarily in French.

Rev. Victor Nicolle 1936-1946
The 1936 Chapter elected Victor Nicolle to a second term as Superior General. His second term, which lasted 10 years due to World War II, was an expansive time for the Society. This term marks the transformation of the Society from a primarily French society to one centered in America. For the first time, correspondence is primarily in English rather than French. Fr Nicolle planted new North American apostolates , most of which were maintained for much of the twentieth century. New missions began in Selma, Alabama in 1937, and later in other spots in Alabama and North Carolina. The Society also took on an English speaking apostolate in Quebec. Expansion within Vermont occurred as well, with the Society acquiring more land and expanding works to other parts of the state, including Southern Vermont. It also added a formal seminary program to its Formation program in Vermont. The Society still managed to maintain a presence in France, including a novitiate at Pontigny, despite World War II. In 1946 the Society held its first General Chapter in 10 years, the 1942 chapter having been postponed because of the War. This Chapter elected Fr. Jeremiah Purtill Superior General, and Fr. Nicolle stepped down. Nicolle returned to France and spent his remaining years there.
This subgroup consists almost entirely of correspondence. This correspondence is particularly important in understanding the growth and breadth of the Society during its formative years. The series is most likely incomplete, since Nicolle reportedly asked that recipients destroy all his correspondence. It is clear many did not follow this directive. Most correspondence is arranged chronologically and a calendar is available, but material from the South is arranged into a separate sub-series and does not have a calendar. Correspondence with other local administrations is located with the Local Administration record group.
The South files provide great insight into the development of the Selma Mission. Correspondence included in this sub-series is that which accumulated in the Superior General’s office. Most originated in the South, although copies of outgoing mail are sometimes included.

Father Jeremiah Purtill was the first American born Superior General for the Society. Purtill, a native of Pawcatuck, CT, attended Saint Michael’s College, where he also worked for a time. In his first term as Superior General he reinforced the areas in which Fr. Nicolle had expanded the Society. He continued to expand the Edmundite presence in the South, and saw the massive expansion of Saint Michael’s College during the postwar boom. He also agreed to take on the administration of new parishes in Vermont. He oversaw the establishment of the two important academic endeavors, College St-Edme at Pontigny, also known as the Franco-American College, and Cardinal Mindszenty High School in Dunkirk NY. He followed his first successful term of office with two more.
The bulk of this subgroup is correspondence, arranged alphabetically by correspondent/office. The series also includes correspondence from the South, which is further subdivided by correspondent/office. Correspondence included in this sub-series is that which accumulated in the Superior General’s Office. Most originated in the South, although copies of outgoing mail are sometimes included. Correspondence with other local administrations is located with the Local Administration record group.

Rev. Jeremiah Purtill 1952-1958
In 1952, Fr Purtill was again elected to the office of Superior General. This second term also saw more expansion, particularly in the South and in the Formation program. In addition to new parishes in the South, the Society’s mission in England underwent expansion as well, with the addition of traveling missions in a rural area of Brentwood and Stock. During this term Purtill arranged for the purchase of Fairholt, a mansion in Burlington, VT that was used for the seminary. He also oversaw the transfer of the novitiate from Putney, VT to Enders Island, CT, an island the Society received as a gift from Alys Enders. This term was not without problems however. Expansion in the some areas of the South resulted in consolidation in other areas of the South, and the property in Pontigny was sold and the College of St. Edme closed after experiencing financial problems.

Rev. Jeremiah Purtill 1958-1964
Fr Purtill’s third term of office continued in much the same vein as the second. Purtill continued to enhance the existing apostolates, developing strong connections in the South, England and Quebec and maintaining the parishes and work in France and in Vermont. The formation program continued to develop as well during this term, and the number of novices grew, as did places of education and a development program for the Society. The only major apostolate to close was Cardinal Mindszenty High School. However, Cardinal Mindszenty was closed to develop two different and new apostolates. One, building a minor seminary in Allentown Pennsylvania, never came to fruition, although the Edmundites did purchase land and get fairly far in developing the idea. The second was quite successful, however. This was the expansion of the Edmundites to Caracas, Venezuela. In answer to Pope John XXIII’s call for priests in Latin America, the Society of Saint Edmund established an apostolate in Caracas in January 1964. Purtill finished off his term of office on this strong note, and went on to serve many more years in a number of different leadership roles in the Society.
The bulk of this subgroup is correspondence, which is arranged alphabetically by correspondent/office. The series also includes correspondence from the South, which is further subdivided by correspondent/office. Correspondence included in the South sub-series is that which accumulated in the Superior General’s Office. Most originated in the South, although copies of outgoing mail are sometimes included. Correspondence with other local administrations is located with the Local Administration record group. Another large series is the Allentown Subject series. This includes a great deal of information related to the establishment and details of purchasing land for this minor seminary.

Eymard Galligan was born in Saratoga Springs, NY on Jan. 12, 1922. He attended Saint Michael's College and then entered the Novitiate in Putney, VT. After going through the Society’s formation program, he became the first Superior of the new Novitiate on Enders Island, CT. He then became the Superior of the Southern House, where he oversaw the growth of the missions during a period of great turmoil throughout the Southern US. He was elected Superior General in June 1964, and he took over a society with apostolates in 5 countries. His first term of office is marked by the struggle to adapt these apostolates to a changing world, especially in the South and a church dramatically affected by the Second Vatican Council. By the end of this term, the Society’s relationship with Saint Michael’s College changed drastically with the establishment of a lay president, the society began to slowly consolidate its apostolates and to scrutinize its heritage and mission through three Chapters.
The bulk of this subgroup is correspondence, which is arranged alphabetically by correspondent/office. The series also includes correspondence from the South, which is further subdivided by correspondent/office.

Rev. Eymard Galligan 1970-1974
Fr. Galligan’s second term as Superior General marked the beginning of major changes in the society. New apostolates were added in England and in Quebec, and apostolates in the South began to transform because of integration. With the drafting of new constitutions, some houses were changed into regions. Among the more interesting occurrences of the term, in 1971 Fr. Galligan asked members of the Society for a vote of confidence in his administration. Also of importance at the time, Fr. Galligan and his General Council agreed to participate in the US Social Security program, a decision that had great impact on the Society.

Fr. Frank Gokey was a native of Springfield, MA. He attended Saint Michael’s College and went to novitiate in Putney, Vt. After serving in different roles at SMC, he served as permanent secretary of the Conference of Major Superiors of Men in Washington, DC. He arrived back in Winooski when elected Superior General in 1974. He took over a society that had over 100 members, including novices and scholastics. The Society was in the process of studying many of its works in the process of writing its Constitutions. Review of the apostolates continued throughout this term, and some were closed. Of particular interest was news from France, where a small resurgence of the community occurred. Fr. Philippe Simmonet, while in residence at Tonnere, met Rev. Daniel Rousseau, who was attracted to the communal life. He and others became interested in the original mission of the founders of the Society, which had been to rekindle the Catholic faith in the area. Rev. Rousseau was joined by Pierre Dauvissat, who began his novitiate on June 15, 1975 with Jean Tribut, who had already begun his studies at seminary in Paris. In April 1978, Rousseau and Tribut made their profession into the Society of Saint Edmund. When Gokey’s term of office ended and he was not reelected, Gokey went to France to shepherd this new foundation.

Rev. Edward Leary 1978-1982
Fr. Edward Leary was born in 1924 and was educated primarily in the Society’s education institutions. He served in a number of different apostolates, mostly in educational roles. He served two terms as Superior General of the Society. Leary was elected at the General Chapter in 1978. Leary’s first term of office saw the continued aging of the society without enough new members to replace the aging members. While most of the apostolates continued despite the diminishing numbers of members, the society was forced to relinquish a few parishes and works. Additionally, the new foundation in France disintegrated for a number of reasons.
The bulk of this subgroup is correspondence, which is arranged alphabetically by correspondent/office. The series also includes correspondence from the South, which is further subdivided by correspondent/office.

Rev. Edward Leary 1982-1986
Edward Leary’s second term of office was quite difficult. Continuing the trend begun in his first term, the society began a slow process of consolidating works; when a pastor retired, he was not automatically replaced. Much energy and labor was dedicated to the vocation office, yet few new novices took permanent vows. The number of Edmundites dropped from 105 to 95 while almost 50% of the membership was over 60. While not thoroughly addressed during Leary’s term, it did have a long lasting effect on the Society.
