Biography
Pierre-Marie Gerlier (1880-1965), trained in law, brought a careful mind to the service of others, always mindful that justice and mercy were best exercised together.
His work in Lyon grew from that early discipline, and he remained a steady presence in the city, standing up for the dignity of every person until he was laid to rest beneath the spires of Lyon Cathedral.
