“Since my retirement I have devoted much time introducing my American friends and family to French history.” As a lover of the Church and his native land, Pierre notes “France has been called ‘the oldest daughter of the church’ with the first written records of Christians there dating from the 2nd century when Eusebius detailed the martyrdom of many Christians in the 177 AD persecutions in Lyon while Irenaeus was bishop.”
Pierre has been instrumental in fostering ties between CAPP members in France and the USA and also “enjoys opportunities to chaperone students of Saint John’s University on trips to Paris”.
