Biography

Saint Charles de Foucauld, also known as Charles Eugenie de Foucauld, Brother Charles of Jesus, and Brother Marie-Alberic, was born on 15 September 1858 in Strasbourg, France to an aristocratic family.

Charles received his education at Jesuit schools in Nancy and Paris, France from 1872 to 1875....
