LUQUET, JEAN-FÉLIX-ONÉSIME. - Born on June 17, 1810 in Langres (Haute Marne). He was the first pupil of the "Ecole des Beaux-Arts", where he lost his faith; after his return to God he entered the Seminary of St. Sulpice and then, on July 19, 1841, the Seminary of the Foreign Missions of Paris.
Ordained a priest on May 21, 1842, he departed on Dec. 21 of the same year for the mission of Pondichéry. In 1845 he was sent by his bishop, Msgr. C. Bonnand, to Rome to present a report on the establishment of the hierarchy in India. In Rome he was appointed coadjutor of Msgr. Bonnand, but the appointment was not well received in India, and L. was forced in 1851 to tender his resignation and withdrew to the French Seminary in Rome, composing books of piety and on the missions. He was a strenuous promoter of the indigenous clergy. Died in Rome on Sept. 3, 1858.
