What's Happening?

France -- a response to the mystery?

Last week we published this photo asking who this saint was in the chapel at Hazebrouck where Fr. Dehon studied as a young man. Chris Jenkins (BH) believes it is Noah, who has from time to time been portrayed in a monks habit. Chris says, the beard and baldness are his chief indicators. If you can offer a concurring or contrary opinion please contact: jean-michel.saus@wanadoo.fr. We would, of course, appreciate a 'cc' to our website (tomc@scj.org) as well.
