The death of Mgr Guy Gaucher
(1930-2014)
is announced on July 3, 2014 by the Paris province of the Carmelite Friars
Brother Guillaume Dehorter, provincial superior of the Paris province of the Discalced Carmelite friars, informs you of the
Return to God of Monseigneur Guy Gaucher
(1930-2014)
Our brother Guy left us on July 3 at 9:30 a.m. His funeral will be celebrated at Lisieux during the week of July 7, at a date which is not yet fixed. (It will be decided as soon as possible).
“No, I am not dying, I am entering into life.” This saying of Thérèse, we can say with our brother Guy, who dedicated his life to making his little sister known. How she must have welcomed him, with the Lord, into the glory of Heaven!
Guy Gaucher was born March 5, 1930 in Seine-et-Marne. Ordained a priest on March 17, 1963, he entered Carmel in our province of Paris. He pronounced his vows on October 3, 1968. He was ordained bishop of Meaux on October 19, 1986 and then auxiliary bishop of Bayeux and Lisieux on May 7, 1987, in residence at Lisieux. In 2005, having reached the age of 75 years, he retired to our convent at Lisieux and then to Vénasque (Notre Dame de Vie; that is, Our Lady of Life).
At first a great connoisseur of Georges Bernanos, Bishop Guy Gaucher was one of the greatest experts on St. Thérèse of the Child Jesus. Here is his principal bibliography:
