Talk about being blessed, have we got a destination for you. Even better, it’s been “anointed by a saint of another kind, Isabella Rossellini. Tucked away in a nondescript street in Rome, make a beeline for the very special L’Eau Vive restaurant. Father Marcel Roussel-Galle was born on June 8, 1910, in Les Fins, a small village in the Municipality of Besançon, in France. Very early he heard God’s call to the priesthood. After the period of formation in the seminary, he received priestly ordination on December 22, 1934.
Faced with the complex and changing religious situations of his time, moved by the Holy Spirit, he had the intuition of forming a “missionary family” made up of young workers. Encouraged by the then Archbishop of Paris, he officially founded the Family of the Missionary Workers of the Immaculate on February 11, 1950, which quickly became international with the arrival of sisters from Africa, Asia, America and Oceania.
Fr. Marcel Roussel-Galle received the intuition to continue the Mission of the Lord and the Church, with the creation of the L’Eau Vive restaurants. Book here.
