The Servants of the Poor in Brive-la-Gaillarde

Great joy for the Sisters of the Servants of the Poor in Brive-la-Gaillarde (France): On 16 September 2025, Bishop Eric Bidot of Tulle came to bless the first stone of the chapel!

After three years in Brive-la-Gaillarde, this blessing further roots the Servants of the Poor in this beautiful diocese of Tulle. They give thanks to God and pray with great gratitude for the benefactors who made the construction of this chapel possible.

In addition to the members of the clergy who came to surround their bishop, many faithful from the Brive missionary area were present for this happy event, as well as patients cared for by the sisters and representatives of the companies involved in the construction.

This blessing of the first stone is a response to Dom Camille Leduc's request to begin by building a chapel in each of their foundations.

‘The presence of the Blessed Sacrament at the heart of the house reminds the Servants of the Poor that Our Lord is both the Master of the house, their first Superior and their constant confidant.’ As living stones of the Church, the sisters will be faithful in visiting him and will pray to him especially for the sick.
