Today is the Death Anniversary of our Founder, the Servant of God, Fr. Jules Chevalier, MSC.

 

Here is an excerpt from the notes of Fr. Charles Piperon, MSC at the moment Fr. Chevalier rejoined our loving Lord:

 

"...like the flickering out of a flame, he fell peacefully asleep in the Lord. The clock struck half past five and the evening Angelus was ringing in the parish. Thus died our venerated and beloved Father, surrounded by his intimates and by some of his religious who had come from various parts to assist at his last hour and to render him their final respects. He had lived eighty-three years, six months and six days, the greater part of which--fifty-three years--had, by a special design of divine Providence, been spent in the town of Issoudun."  (from Le T.R.P. Chevalier. Simple Notice Biographique.)
