Les Amis du Père Caffarel

In Paris, on June 23, 2022, on the feast-day of Saint John the Baptist, in the presence of the Roman postulator, Father Paleri, the writing of the cause of Father Caffarel was completed. Marie-Christine Genillon and Father Paul-Dominique Marcovits finished up a long text of 790 pages – the Positio – presenting Father Caffarel’s life, thinking, virtues and reputation for holiness. 

The next day, on June 24, 2022, on the feast-day, of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, Father Paleri, back in Rome, deposited the Positio at the Dicastery for the Causes of Saints. It is therefore in the beautiful light of the Precursor and in that of the love of the Lord for all, that this stage has been completed.

Here is a summary of the main activities carried out in the Brazil Super-Region during the year 2022, which aimed to promote and disseminate the Father Henri Caffarel’s thinking and the promotion of his cause of canonisation.

September 18, 2021 will be the 25th anniversary of the death of Father Henri Caffarel. Edgardo and Clarita Bernal, Responsible Couple for the International Leading Team, and members of the International Leading Team asked the Association of the Friends of Father Caffarel to prepare an audio-visual novena of prayer, to celebrate this anniversary and honour the memory of Father Henri Caffarel.

À l'occasion du 25^ème anniversaire de la mort du Père Caffarel et du 50^ème de la mort de Camille C., les éditions du Carmel publient la correspondance du Père Caffarel avec Camille C., livre auquel Henri Caffarel était très attaché.
