Continuing the legacy
In 1982, Bishop Donald J. Pelletier M.S. was walking home along a darkened path on a moonless night. He stumbled over a young boy half-hidden in the pathway. Letiana was his name, and he was terribly crippled. Incapable of standing or walking, and shamed by his unsightly condition, Letiana’s only time outside his house came when he inched across the sand on nocturnal trips to the beach. The encounter sparked a revolution.
Through Bishop Donald and his co-missionaries, Letiana was sent for care and rehabilitation. From a moonless stumble, a revolution bloomed that created The Beautiful Gate Handicap Center, a testament to the power of compassion and a boy who dared to walk.
Family and friends of Bishop Donald and Fr. Jack Nuelle, M.S., one of the co-missionaries, have made it their mission to continue the work worldwide where La Salette has a presence.
