« Lyon 2017 : bridges and confluence »

Meeting of SMAs of 20 to 40 years of Missionary priesthood

Our first meeting began with the lighting of the Pascal Candle by Father Antonio Porcellato on 3^rd July on the Feast of Saint Thomas the Apostle. He welcomed each and every one of us.  Father Pierre Richaud, the house superior of 150 cours Gambetta gave us the history and the tradition of the Mother House in Lyon.

« Like the Apostles… »

"There are many others things that Jesus did..."

“There are also many other things that Jesus did, but if these were to be described individually, I do not think the whole world would contain the books that would be written” (Jn 21 : 25).

Letter of Support for the Cause of the Servant of God Monsignor Melchior de Marion Brésillac

May I crave your indulgence to write in support of the Cause of the Servant of God, Monsignor Melchior de Marion Brésillac, for his Canonization.

One of the greatest Missionaries I encountered in my minor seminary Church History studies and whose life impressed me most was Monsignor Marion Brésillac. His name was a household word among the seminarians.
He was reputed to be a very holy man, a great missionary, an extremely prayerful person who married his personal Christian convictions, especially about the missions, with what the Church's direction was.
In him the famous eternal words of Christ were vividly exemplified, "By their fruits you will know them," (Matthew 7:16) and "A good tree bears good fruits." (Matthew 7:17)
