Pope John Paul II beatified him in 2004. ==Life== Pierre Vigne was born in 1670 as one of five children to Pierre Vigne and Frances Gautier. He was better educated than most of his peers and served as an active member in his parish. A religious vocation manifested in his late teens when he received a sudden and active awareness of Jesus Christ in the Eucharist. Vigne entered the Sulpician Seminary in Viviers in 1690 to commence his studies, and was ordained to the priesthood on 18 September 1694. After this, he served as a parish curate for six years and joined the Vincentian missionaries in Lyon in 1700, acting as a missionary and a preacher. He left the Vincentians in 1706 and became known as a travelling priest for the next three decades. He would preach and celebrate Mass at the places he visited and also visited the sick and carried out confessions. It was on 30 November 1715 that he founded the Blessed Sacrament Sisters of Valence and following this established schools for children. He died in 1740. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pierre Vigne」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
