One of his first missions he chose was to bring tue bible and the Holly Communion to the prisioners of WWII. He invented “Tue Chappel Suitcase” wich is prodused even today in the workshoop of the Cite. He received several titles along his life, the “ monsegnior” title received from Vatican it was the most helpfull for the charithy work he did all his life. On his grave it is written just this: Jean Rodhain Pretre”. His grave is next ti Bernadette Chappel, a copy of the Sheperd House where she stood and took care of sheeps.

I was there and didn't get accepted because of a Korean Group who takes all Places. Even the Town don't cares about pilgrim St. Jacob.
A very pleasant place to visit
An amazing and beautiful space!
\Si quelqu'un veut être grand parmi vous il sera votre serviteur\. Jésus Christ Matthieu 20.26. Vous ne pouvez pas dire que je ne l'ai pas été... J'ai servi comme bénévole à la plonge durant trois semaines a raison de 45h par semaine, 6 jours sur 7, en avril 2018. J'en suis sorti épuisé! 45h c'est beaucoup trop. Surtout a la plonge.
Très convivial ,les bénévoles sont super ! Je recommande ceux lieu
Voor de pelgrim die verloren loopt in het 'gedoe' van Lourdes: ga naar Cité Saint Pierre en zoek naar de kapel boven aan de rand van het bos. Daar heb ik mijn pelgrimstocht kunnen afsluiten. Niet bij de'grot'.
