28. Born in 1904 at Plouguenast in Brittany, Father Pierre Henry, an Oblate of Mary Immaculate, was sent in 1932 to the missions in Hudson Bay where, for  thirty eight years, he will accomplish an heroic apostolic task. He will found four missions near the magnetic pole and he will convert the whole tribe of the fearsome Netjilik Eskimos. In 1977 Father Henry will retire to the house of the Oblates at Saint Agatha, where he will die, on 4 February 1979, "as he had lived, an obedient and exemplary Oblate, abandoned and despised, like Jesus Christ, by his brothers" (Georges de Nantes).

29. Oral account of his journey to Canada, 8 December 1974.

30. Georges de Nantes, caption under the picture of Brother Henry of the Cross making his solemn vows, 11 September 1994.

31. Quoted by Charles Choque, Kayoaluk, Pierre Henry OMI, missionary to the Inuits, published by the Oblates of Mary Immaculate, 1982, p. 253-254.

32. We do not know precisely on what date Father Henry began to read the writings of the Abbé de Nantes. It is possible that he received the Letters to my friends at the beginning of the sixties, while he was still in the Far North.

33. Ibid., September 1994.

34. Spiritual reading of the Abbé de Nantes, 14 September 1994.

35. Certainly, the explanations and advice of the Abbé de Nantes were very precious to Father Henry. One of the members of the Canadian CRC one day saw Father Henry brimming with joy. The holy missionary had just received a letter from our Father: "Now", he said, "I can see things clearly."

43. Commenting on this in the Catholic Counter-Reformation of May 1971, the Abbé de Nantes added: "But imagine if my father had said to me: 'It is Marx who is right!' I would not then be considered as someone who was emotionally disturbed, but as a prophet. And perhaps I would be an archbishop also, a trendy one of course... and such a good son!"
