The Viatorians, or Clerics of Saint Viator ("C.S.V."), are a Roman Catholic religious institute founded in Lyon, France in 1831 by Father Louis Querbes. Its patron, Saint Viator, had been a 4th century catechist in Lyon. The order soon spread from its origins in France to the United States and now has provinces and missions all over the world.
The Viatorians are a teaching order and are thus involved in parish ministries and all levels of education, from grade school through university.
