*Following Montrouge’s “Fête de la Coquille” pilgrimage days at the end of April, the Société Française des Amis de Saint Jacques de Compostelle, which had been associated with the event, wished to consolidate and develop the relationship established on this occasion with the church of Saint Jacques le Majeur, represented by Father Marc Ketterer.

The Société Française has asked graphic designer Jacques Le Ribault and parishioner and Sfasjc member François Bourdeaux to design a commemorative plaque. The plaque will be affixed at the end of the new year’s mass at Saint Jacques le Majeur Church on Sunday September 29 at 12 noon, in the presence of Father Marc Ketterer and Patrice Jacques Marie Bernard, President of the Société Française des Amis de Saint Jacques de Compostelle.
