Biography
Père Jacques, born in 1900, ministered to the faithful as a Catholic priest and offered comfort in a time of invasion, opening his heart and his convent to those who sought refuge.
He died in 1945, having tended the spiritual needs of his community through hardship, and he remains remembered at the Couvent des Carmes d'Avon where his presence still echoes among the cloistered gardens.
