==Life==
Depelchin's biographies show 24 January 1822 as the date of his birth but the civil registers of Russignies show that Henri Joseph Depelchin was actually born on 28 January 1822. He was the son of Almable François Joseph Depelchin, the innkeeper, and his wife, Marie Anne Matroye.〔 Henri Joseph Depelchin, (Birth Certificate No. 2 ), filed 28 January 1822, Register of Births for the Year 1822, Russeignies, East Flanders, Belgium; in: ''FamilySearch'', “Belgium, Hainaut, Civil Registration, 1600–1911”; Russeignies, ''Geboorten, huwelijken, overladen'' (“Births, Marriages, Deaths” ) 1811–1870; Image 145, Item 2. The titles and columns were in Dutch but the actual birth certificate was in French. Although it was filed under Hainaut, it clearly stated that the birth occurred in East Flanders. Russeignies did not switch the provinces until 1963.〕 At that time, his birthplace, Russignies, a farming village near Renaix, was a part of the United Kingdom of the Netherlands, in the province of East Flanders but today it is a part of the city of Mont-de-l'Enclus in the province of Hainaut in the Kingdom of Belgium.〔 "''(Historie de la commune )''", ''Belgique – Russeignies (Rozenaken)'', ''Geneawiki'', retrieved 13 December 2013. Russignies sits on the historic border between the two provinces, Flanders and Hainaut. After Flanders was split into two in 1815, Russignies stayed with East Flanders until 1 September 1963, when it was allowed to join Hainaut.〕
On 25 September 1842, he was admitted to the Society of Jesus at the former Norbertine Abbey of Tronchiennes (now Drongen) for the novitiate. After taking his first vows in 1844, he spent the next five years in his Juniorate teaching in Jesuit schools in Tournai and Aalst. Then he studied philosophy at the University of Namur (1849–1851) and theology at the Catholic University of Louvain (1851–1854). On 14 September 1854, in Liege, he was ordained as a priest.
Afterwards, Depelchin spent the following year in his Third Year, the final stage of the Jesuit formation. Then he was sent to Antwerp and Namur to teach in the Jesuit schools and to serve as a superior. It seemed that he was destined to spend his life in education. Belgium had just been freed from the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the Catholic Church was now free to celebrate Mass and teach catechism in peace. So the Jesuits were opening new schools across the new Kingdom of Belgium.
