 Blessed Nicolas Roland
Nicolas Roland, 1642-1678, painting at the Hotel de La Salle, Reims. Canon of Reims and friend of John Baptist DE LA SALLE, he founded the congregation of the Sisters of the Child Jesus. Though many of Roland's friends had tried to interest DE LA SALLE in the work of education without success, Roland's own enthusiasm for the cause of education was to bear fruit in the work of the Founder of the Brothers and, as is often the case, the disciple was to outstrip the master. |
