On Monday May 9 at 8:30 p.m., the “Mondays of 85” team offers a conference-debate on Charles de Foucauld, born in 1858 in Strasbourg, died in 1916 in Tamanrasset. He will be canonized on May 15 by Pope Francis. Fascinated by this emblematic saint, Vincent Landel, archbishop emeritus of Rabat, will retrace the incredible life of this socialite and socialite aristocrat, cavalry officer in the French army, who became an explorer and geographer, then a priest, hermit and linguist. In the troubled context of Morocco and Algeria of his time, how will he discover the Morocco that fascinates him, the Faith that will lead him closer to the Tuaregs, “his Muslim brothers”, in absolute poverty, until to his tragic death in Tamanrasset?
Among other adventures, this is what Bishop Landel will tell, passionate about this emblematic saint.
Location: Parish Center, 85 rue Gilet.
