Charles de Foucauld CommunitiesBrother Charles died alone![]() Charles de Foucauld did not succeed in his lifetime to attract 'little brothers' and 'little sisters' to join the religious communities modelled on the life of Jesus at Nazareth that he envisioned. He did establish an Association, open to anyone, lay people of both sexes, priests, other religious... If he had survived the 1914-1918 war, he intended travelling to France to promote the Association.
Charles de Foucauld: Hermit and Explorer was published in 1923. Since then, many communities have sprung up, inspired by Charles' life and example - often first glimpsed through René Bazin's biography. The communities are each distinctive yet also have much in common. |
