Fr. Adrien Bresy was sensitive to the suffering of the women, especially the widows and orphans. His heart was moved to compassion for the weak, the poor, the sad, the lonely and the oppressed. It was the plight of the poor of the parish especially that of children, that gave to Fr. Adrien Bresy, our founder, the inspiration to start a school and for that purpose to found a Religious Congregation.

A man of learning and wisdom, he knew the value of education and that the most effective means of changing society and it’s values was by educating it’s children in right values. Himself a learned man, he found the real strategy knowing where to begin his conquest. It was in the hearts of little children educated in the ways of the Lord’ he saw Christian education as a means of spiritual and human development. In the cry for help of the poor children of his parish he heard the cry of countless thousands of children and started a little village school to hold the destiny of many generations to come. His heart went all out to procure for the children of his parish who were in the grips of ignorance and poverty to guarantee them a solid human, moral and intellectual formation.

Fr. Adrien was a person of profound humility, to the point of effacing himself totally, not leaving any tangible trace of himself, either in the form of writings, monuments or buildings. He was a person who understood and believed that there was no need to put himself in evidence nor leave behind writings and monuments in his memory and that God’s work, God’s plan would unfold itself in the being rather than in the great doing of man. The little seed that he had planted in the obscure village of Wez and which he watered with his faith, has grown into a luxuriant tree spreading it’s branches far and wide reaching out to all those in need, irrespective of cultures, castes and creeds at the service of the Kingdom in the heart of the church. Humble to the point of desiring to be trampled upon, if not in life, at least in death, he wished to be buried at the threshold of his parish church, where his parishioners were obliged to walk over his tomb before entering the church.
