French Carmelite monk Fr. Marie-Eugene who visited PHL beatified
A Carmelite monk, who laid the cornerstone in the 1960s of what is known today as the National Shrine of Our Lady of Mount Carmel in Broadway, Quezon City, was beatified on November 19 in Avignon, France. Venerable Fr. Marie-Eugene of the Child Jesus, OCD, a French national, visited the Philippines twice in his capacity as Vicar General of the Discalced Carmelites and even tried crossing the treacherous Lamon Bay in Infanta, Quezon, to visit the Carmelite mission on Polillo Island in Quezon.
