| General Description : | Peter Joseph Triest (31 August 1760, in Brussels – 24 June 1836, in Ghent) is the founder of the Sisters of Charity of Jesus and Mary, (1803), the Brothers of Charity (1807), the Brothers of St John of God (1825) and the Sisters of the Childhood of Jesus (1835). Pierre Joseph Triest, called the Belgian Vincent de Paul by many, charted a trail of caritas and knit a network of facilities for the care of the poor. He was the first person after the French Revolution, after having lived as a priest in hiding in Ronse for five years, to take several initiatives in the Ghent area as from 1803 that would fully involve the Church once again and even provide a leading role for her in the care for the poor and the sick. |
