| The town of Le Puy: "they shall be known as 'Marists' " |
| Le Puy: site of the annual pilgrimage of a youthful Jean-Claude Courveille and the miraculous healing of his vision. 'I heard Mary speak to me', he later recounted, 'not with the eyes of my body but of my soul: "This is what I desire...a Society bearing my name... they shall be known as Marists" '.In the seminary at Lyon Jean-Claude Colin is inspired and his instinct for the Society of Mary confirmed: 'This sits well with me!' |
