JOHN PETER OF THE MOTHER OF GOD. - Born Giovanni Chassagne, a Discalced Carmelite missionary, b. in 1620 at Villefranche (diocese of Lyon), he professed on 6 July 1641 at Avignon; in 1655 he was in the mission of Syria, of which he was one of the most illustrious missionaries. After having brought very many heretics and schismatics back to Catholic union, he died, a victim of charity, on 3 July 1669 at Giudaida (near Aleppo), while assisting cholera victims. He left in manuscript, besides several reports on the mission of Syria, many works of a catechetical and apologetic nature in the Arabic language.
