Pierre Coudrin
Pierre Coudrin , religious name Marie-Joseph, called Le bon Père or Pierre-Marie-Joseph Coudrin , (born March 1, 1768 in Coussay-les-Bois , † March 27, 1837 in Paris ) was a French priest and founder of the order.
Life
Pierre Coudrin studied theology in Poitiers and prepared for the priesthood in the seminary there. He was ordained a deacon in December 1790 . Due to the turmoil of the French Revolution and the refusal of the seminary priests to be sworn in to the civil constitution , Pierre Coudrin moved to Paris. He was eventually secretly on 4 March 1792 consecrated . From then on he exercised his priesthood in France under adventurous and dangerous conditions.
In 1804, together with Henriette Aymer de la Chevalerie, he founded the Congregation of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary , usually called the Arnstein Fathers in Germany . The official name is Congregatio Sacrorum Cordium Jesu et Mariae necnon adorationis perpetuae Sanctissimi Sacramenti Altaris with the abbreviation SS.CC. The head office was on Rue de Pic-Pus . For this reason this congregation is known in France as the Picpus Society . The new congregation's spirituality was characterized by the adoration of the Heart of Jesus and the sacrament of the altar . The rule of the order and the constitution were approved by Pope Pius VII on November 17, 1817 in the Bull Pastor aeternus .
From 1820 to 1826 Pierre Coudrin was vicar general in Troyes , from 1826 to 1833 in Rouen . Pierre Coudrin died in Paris on March 27, 1837 at the age of 69. He rests there in the Cimetière de Picpus cemetery .
