Biography
François Ract was ordained into the priesthood in difficult times and became a steadfast presence for parishioners around Albertville, guiding them through war and peace with thoughtful homilies and a steady pastoral hand.
He sought always to weave the teachings of the Church into everyday life, accompanying weddings, funerals, and community celebrations with the same calm faith that never wavered, and his parish remembers his gentle counsel.
