September 12, 1765. as a testimony to Our Lady's appeal to "make (her message) known to all her
people." Immediately thereafter, he assigned some of his priests to care for the numerous pilgrims
frequenting the mountain shrine and called them the missionaries of our lady of La Salette . In 1858
these priests formed a religious community with temporary constitutions, under the immediate charge
of the Bishop of Grenoble. He resigned in 1852 and died on December 15, 1860 at 95 years of age.
His heart is preserved at the shrine of Notre-Dame de la Salette.
