Saint Claude de La Colombière mug with milestones of his life

Claude was born in Saint-Symphorien-d’Ozon on 2 February 1641 and entered the Society of Jesus as a young man. His education and teaching duties preceded his service in Paray-le-Monial, where he was superior and Margaret Mary's spiritual director. His writings include meditations, retreats and letters reflecting this dedication to the inner life.

He later served as a chaplain in England. After returning to France, he spent his final years in poor health and died in Paray-le-Monial on 15 February 1682. His canonisation took place on 31 May 1992. These details connect the saint's name with specific places and moments in his life.
