Dates of Father Terme’s birth and death, as written by Mother Thérèse

Source: MM, FT 13, T.A.1.3.1.2.7.

“Born December 25, 1791 and died December 12, 1834
Father Terme”
Mother Thérèse noted Father Terme’s dates of birth and death on a piece of paper. This simple gesture reveals the importance that he held in her eyes. By keeping this memorial, she implicitly recognized him as the founder and already displayed a form of veneration toward the one who guided the early days of the Congregation.
