On Sunday, July 2, the Richelieu community was honored
by the visit of Very Rev. Adolfo Nicolàs, Superior General of the Society of
Jesus. On his way to Montreal through Quebec, he stopped by to greet the
members of his Congregation in residence at the Oblate infirmary. A festive
meal celebrated his visit, after which he spoke to the large group in
attendance to express his satisfaction at seeing the brotherly friendship that
unites the Jesuits and the Oblates in this house.
Father Nicolàs was
accompanied by, among others, Fathers Antoine Kerhuel, Assistant General for
Western Europe and French Canada; James E. Grümmer, Assistant General for the
United States; Jean-Marie Biron, provincial of French Canada. The visit was in
conjunction with the celebration of the four hundredth anniversary of the
arrival of the Jesuits on American soil. (Alexandre
