100-years of La Salettes in Madagascar

This work of love, written over the last ten years, tells the extraordinary story of several American La Salette Missionaries who have selflessly shared their gifts of reconciliation with the people of Madagascar from 1921-2021. The unique personalities and lasting accomplishments of thirty-seven missionaries show most powerfully how God does great things through their different gifts rooted in and flowing from the Holy Spirit evidenced in the life and works of these heroic priests and brothers from North America.

Two La Salette Missionaries wrote these personal memoirs – Bishop Donald J. Pelletier and Fr. Jack Nuelle. They tell the story of the faithful and creative ministry of each of these men of faith, capturing a panoply of gifts for our benefit, all building up the people of God. This is no mere history; this is a lasting attestation of how the gifts of the Holy Spirit “will renew the face of the earth” (Psalm 104:30).

We invite you to enjoy these true stories of remarkably dedicated Missionaries of Our Lady of La Salette whose example – in the words of the founder Philibert de Bruillard, Bishop of Grenoble, France in 1852 – will remain “an eternal monument, a perpetual remembrance of Mary’s merciful apparition” at La Salette on Saturday, September 19, 1846.

This book is available to anyone who donates $250 or more and can be purchased in the La Salette Religious Article Store.
