Articles from Gilles Chaillot, PSS in the BSS

After the publication of volume 40 of the Bulletin de Saint-Sulpice (2015-2016) the General Council decided that it was no longer possible to continue an annual publication as had been done for the last forty years, from 1976 to 2016. In its place, our intention has been to publish occasional works of interest to Sulpicians and those interested in Sulpician history, spirituality, and pedagogy, or in priesthood and priestly formation.

This vision has now happily come to fruition. I am happy to announce the appearance in PDF format of the first two volumes of a new series, the Bulletin de Saint-Sulpice Suppléments. Both volumes honor the memory of Father Gilles CHAILLOT PSS, who was one of our great experts on the writings of Sulpician founder, Jean-Jacques OLIER. These tomes gather together in one convenient location many of Father Chaillot’s publications which constituted original research into the unpublished Mémoires of Father Olier. A third volume will soon follow.

Readers should note that the format of these e-books (PDF) is intended to allow easy and wide access to a larger public. They are made available through the Generalate website free of charge and may be downloaded for private use only. Written permission to republish any part of these publications must be obtained from the Superior General of Saint Sulpice.
