What an absolutely amazing story. Every single Saint or Blessed individual I learn about makes me ever more fervent in our faith. I had no idea so many religious were murdered and not long ago - we see what is happening in Nigeria, but for a different reason (yet is it really? I don't think so - I see two opposing forces at play in this world on the macro scale and if you're not with one, you're with the other). In my later years, I am finally taking up learning more about history. So glad I found you here. Great work. God Speed. Adios. I will never here that word the same or look at a lentil again the same (I eat them all the time). It'll be a pleasant reminder of Fr. Tarres.

I enjoyed this story, thanks for sharing Hugh. You are a clear writer with moving prose.
What a fascinating life!
