St Claude La Colombière

Portrait of St Claude La Colombière

As this week sees the relics of St Claude La Colombière SJ and St Margaret Mary Alacoque visiting Farm Street Church it seemed appropriate to share what the Archives holds in relation to this Jesuit. Please get in touch if you would like to arrange to view these items.

Our Rare Books collection contains 6 volumes of Sermons prêchez devant Son Altesse Roialemadame la duchesse d'York, par le R. P. Claude La Colombiere, de la Compagnie de Jesus. Nouvelle Edition, misse en meilleur francois, which date to 1757.
