Monsignor Michel Aupetit, Archbishop of Paris, entrusts to your prayer: Fran\u00e7ois Fleischmann, born in Strasbourg on May 2nd, 1934, was ordained a priest on April 14th, 1962 in the cathedral of Notre-Dame de Paris. He was deputy Chaplain at Lyc\u00e9e Henri IV (Paris 5e) until 1963, and then was a professor at the Little Seminary of Paris at Conflans for eight years. Testimonials are flooding in, and we would like to share with you particularly that of Father Jos\u00e9 Jacinto Ferreira de Farias, scj, Spiritual Counsellor to the International Leading Team.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n In Memory of Monsignor Fleischmann From the first moment I met Monsignor Fleischmann, I was touched by his simplicity, the depth of his gaze and the finesse of his heart. His curriculum vitae shows his commitment to the Teams of Our Lady, a Movement that he served at the highest level, as Spiritual Counsellor to the International Leading Team. Indeed, he was my predecessor in this service.\u00a0 For that reason, I had great respect and was full of admiration for him because, through him, I felt myself to be the heir to the charismatic richness of our Movement, that he knew more deeply than anyone and that he had obtained directly from Father Caffarel.\u00a0 The mass at Massabielle, last December 10th, was my last memory of him.\u00a0 As Spiritual Counsellor of the International Leading Team, the presidency of the mass was entrusted to me, while Monsignor Fleischmann gave the homely.\u00a0 As I was saying goodbye to him, I said \u201cAdeus,\u201d which in Portuguese means \u201cuntil (we meet again in) God.\u201d Never were these words so true in the most profound meaning of the communion of saints.\u00a0 Our next meeting will indeed be in God! Until we see each other again, Monsignor Fleischmann!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Monsignor Michel Aupetit, Archbishop of Paris, entrusts to your prayer: Monsignor Fran\u00e7ois Fleischmann<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":545,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"translation":{"provider":"WPGlobus","version":"2.12.2","language":"en","enabled_languages":["fr","pt","es","it","en"],"languages":{"fr":{"title":true,"content":true,"excerpt":true},"pt":{"title":true,"content":true,"excerpt":true},"es":{"title":true,"content":true,"excerpt":true},"it":{"title":true,"content":true,"excerpt":true},"en":{"title":true,"content":true,"excerpt":true}}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/equipes-notre-dame.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/536"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/equipes-notre-dame.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/equipes-notre-dame.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/equipes-notre-dame.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/equipes-notre-dame.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=536"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/equipes-notre-dame.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/536\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/equipes-notre-dame.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/545"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/equipes-notre-dame.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=536"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/equipes-notre-dame.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=536"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/equipes-notre-dame.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=536"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
\nMonsignor Fran\u00e7ois Fleischmann
\nPrelate of Honor, Honorary Canon
\nwho died on Friday, January 26th, 2018,
\nat the age of 83, in his 56th year of priesthood.
\nMgr. Fleischmann returned to the Father\u2019s House at around 11 o\u2019clock this morning.
\nMay God welcome him into his peace.
\nThe funeral will take place at Notre-Dame de Paris, Friday, February 2nd, 2018 at 10am.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
\nIn 1971, he was named Vicar at Ste-Jeanne de Chantal (Paris 16e) where he remained for four years, while also being in charge, in 1974, for a year, of the religious centre in the Palais des Congr\u00e8s (Paris, Porte Maillot). In 1975, he became Vicar of Ste-Odile (Paris 17e); in 1981, he was deputy head of St-Pierre de Chaillot, where he looked after catechism at Lyc\u00e9e de L\u2019Assomption L\u00fcbeck (Paris 16e).
\nFrom 1983 to 1998, he was named to the Secretariat of State at the Vatican for the French-speaking section. This mission in the service of the Holy Father and the universal Church, despite its somewhat austere character, was a source of enlargement and fulfilment for him. The Wednesday audiences enabled him to approach St John Paul II, and significantly marked him.
\nUpon his return to Paris in 1998, he was named Parish Priest at St-Fran\u00e7ois-Xavier (Paris 7e), an office he occupied until 2003. In 2002, he was named Chancellor of the diocese and episcopal bishop to the office of marriages. In 2010, he began to retire first from his office of Chancellor and then from the office of marriages.\u00a0 Since then, he resided at Saint-Lambert-de-Vaugirard (Paris 15e), and was able to render numerous services to the parish.
\nThroughout his ministry, Mgr. Fran\u00e7ois Fleischmann accompanied the Teams of Our Lady and actively participated in the life of the Movement.\u00a0 He was Spiritual Counsellor to the International Team, another great experience of the life of the universal Church and the action of God\u2019s grace. One consequence of this was that Mgr. Fleischmann became involved in the cause of canonisation of Father Henri Caffarel, founder of the Teams of Our Lady. Last December 8th,\u00a0 2017 he participated in the Colloquium organised in the Coll\u00e8ge des Bernardins upon the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the Charter of Teams and gave a speech about the L\u2019Anneau d\u2019Or, a magazine for which he had furnished very detailed work in preceding years.
\nIn 2003, he was named Titular Canon of Notre-Dame de Paris. In 2005, he was elected to be the Dean of the Titular Canons. In 2013, although retired, he was in the service of the parish of St-Lambert de Vaugirard (Paris 15e). In 2014, he became Emeritus Titular Canon.
\nFather Fran\u00e7ois Fleischmann was a man of great humility and great depth, devoted to the mission for all in a single Church.\u00a0 Our prayers accompany him so that God welcomes his faithful servant into his joy and peace. And we give thanks to God for the fruits of his ministry.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n
