=== History of the Congregation of the Mission Project ===
<div style="float:left;">[[Image:Cmseal.png]]</div>
Fr. John Rybolt, CM, and others are currently writing a projected five volume history of the Congregation of the Mission.
 
The project began in 1992. Upon the death of José María Román Fuentes, C.M., Father John Rybolt was appointed to continue the work begun by José María Román Fuentes, C.M., and Luigi Mezzadri, C.M.
 
This began in 2004, resulting first in an outline of the entire work, divided into four volumes: Vol. III: From the French Revolution to 1843; Vol. IV: 1843-1878; Vol. V: 1878-1915; Vol. VI: 1915-1984. We conclude at 1984, it being the year of approval of the new Constitutions.
 
The following segments are the first in a series of articles concerning the [[History of the Congregation after the French Revolution | history of the Congregation following the French Revolution]].
