Chamis Mug

The Chamis mug brings together a portrait of William Joseph Chaminade and a text that recalls his life or accompanies prayer. It makes a thoughtful gift for someone in the Marianist family, an educator or anyone with fond memories of their time at Chamis. Choose the portrait and the text on the reverse to suit the person you have in mind.

Chamis mug: three portraits of the Marianist founder

You can choose the black-and-white engraving, the Alboraya portrait or the Curia portrait. These three depictions of the same priest offer different styles, from the simplicity of the engraving to the presence of colour. The selector shows each option so you can compare the designs before making your choice.

William Joseph Chaminade was born in Périgueux on 8 April 1761 and died in Bordeaux on 22 January 1850. He founded the Society of Mary, the Marianists, in 1817. Pope John Paul II beatified him on 3 September 2000. These facts form the biographical text prepared for the mug and offer a starting point for sharing his story with the person receiving it.

A reverse side for remembering his life or praying

The default option features a short factual biography in Spanish. If you prefer a prayer, you can select the prayer for the canonisation of Blessed Chaminade published by the Marianist General Curia. Both texts are prepared in Spanish: choose one to accompany the portrait.

The Chamis mug can be a thank-you gift for a group leader, a teacher or someone who shared a part of your life in a Marianist setting. Choose the portrait with their tastes in mind and the text to reflect what you want your gift to mean.

Check both sides before you choose

In the personaliser, you can review the portrait and the reverse, choose a colour or ink finish, and orient the design for a right- or left-handed person. The Both sides view shows two positions of the same mug; the quantity is selected separately. The design is printed using sublimation.
