1601 : St. John Eudes Born
John Eudes (1601-1680), Founder of the Congregation of Our Lady of Charity of the Refuge (OLC) in 1641, from which the Congregation of Our Lady of Charity of the Good Shepherd Congregation emerged. John Eudes was a priest and a preacher whose life exemplifies the renewal of Catholicism in 17th century France. Jean Eudes was born on 14 November 1601 on a farm close to the village of Ri to Isaac Eudes and Martha Corbin; he had four sisters and two brothers. He entered the Congregation of Oratorians, founded earlier by Pierre de Bérulle (1575-1629) and was ordained a priest in Paris in 1625. In 1627 and 1631 at the time of the plague epidemic in Normandy, he is exposed to the risks of this terrible disease. In order to be closer to the sick and to avoid infecting the healthy population, he slept in a cider barrel in the outskirts of the city of Caen. He wanted to renew Christian life in the country-side and preached more than a hundred missions. He was attentive to the difficult lives of the villagers and country people who were experiencing misery. Close to the ordinary people, he simply encouraged them to live their baptism as a journey of friendship with Christ.
