His story inspires us through his life of poverty and hospitality, his devotion to the Eucharist and his engagement in dialogue with the Muslim people. He is the spiritual reference for the religious community called <a href=\"https:\/\/petitessoeursjesus.catholique.fr\/\">les petites s\u0153urs de J\u00e9sus<\/a>, who live in Saint-Eus\u00e8be Parish in the Centre-Sud area of Montreal.

Francis! \u2013 is the author of his biography, <em>Charles de Foucauld<\/em>, <em>le fr\u00e8re universel<\/em>, \u00c9ditions Mediaspaul, 2017.<\/p>\n\n<p>Charles de Foucauld is also the inspiration of the fraternal community <em>J\u00e9sus Caritas<\/em>, which comprises nearly 200 priests in Quebec and the region of Acadia, as well as lay fraternal societies such as <a href=\"http:\/\/www.charlesdefoucauld.ca\/charlesdefoucauld\/Accueil.html\">this one<\/a>&nbsp;in Montreal, and a youth group in Laval. There is a rue de Foucauld named for him in Saint-L\u00e9onard and an avenue P\u00e8re-Charles-de-Foucauld in Montreal North.<\/p>\n\n<p>Marie Rivier (1768-1838) also has a street named for her: rue Rivier, near Saint-\u00c9mile Church in Rosemont-La Petite-Patrie. Marie Rivier was dedicated to children\u2019s education and catechism. She founded the community of <em>Les Soeurs de la Pr\u00e9sentation de Marie<\/em>, whose members taught at Saint-\u00c9mile parish school and still have a strong presence in Montreal.
