Marathi book on Fransalian missionary Fr Jacquier

News published in MISSIONARIES OF St. FRANCIS DE SALES (Fransalians) Pune Provincial website, January 2009

Release of Book on Fr. Jacquier Gurien msfs
30th December 2008, on the day of the Final Profession of 18 of our brothers from Fransalians Seminary a book on Fr. Jacquier Guerin of Ghogargaon was released by Fr. Mario D’souza msfs in the presence Fr. Sebastian Annaikandathil the provincial of Nagpur Province and large number of confreres and guests. Fr. Mario said that normally it would be someone from the Congregation who would write about its history or about its members, but today it is someone who has been touched by the great missionary work done by the congregation who writes about an msfs and about the congregation. It only goes to show the appreciation and the acknowledgment of the good that we as msfs have done, and are doing. Mr. Camil Parkhe a renowned journalist from Pune Sakaal Times expounds the history and the mystery of this great saintly Fransalian Jacquierbaba. He attempts to narrate objectively the spiritual journey of Jacquierbaba from France to Ghogargaon and how he worked untiringly for the up-liftment of the people of Marathawada. This book is certainly a source book of inspiration based on the life and the spirit of Fr. Jacquier Guerin a committed Fransalian Missionary and Visionary. Our Province has sponsored the complete printing and the publication of this book in Marathi as part of our province commitment during this Salesian Year. We thank Mr. Camil Parkhe for his commitment and dedication in bringing out a book on a Fransalian.
