CHERUBINO OF MAURIENNE. - Born on 24 March 1566, he entered the Capuchin Friars Minor of Genoa on 7 Sept. 1583; he died in the convent of Monte in Turin on 23 Oct. 1609. An effective preacher in the Lyonnais region and in Savoy; a theologian and controversialist, from 1587, together with other confreres, he was the apostle of Chablais, especially in the centers of Annemasse and Thonon. With solemn Forty Hours devotions and with two extraordinary jubilees at Thonon, granted to him by the supreme pontiffs, for 1602 and 1607, he brought a great number of Protestants back to the Church. St. Francis de Sales held him in high esteem and shared in the fruits of his activity.
As superior, he promoted the Capuchin missions in Valais, in the canton of Fribourg, and in Savoy. He planned the foundation at Thonon of an institute (St-Maison) for missionary formation for priests and as a refuge for Catholics and converts, and he also envisaged the establishment of the Congregation "De Propaganda Fide." His virtues earned him the trust of the authorities and the veneration of the people.
