Catholic Feast of the Brother Arnold Rche was born in 1838 and beatified in 1987. He grew up in a poor
Day family in France. He was drawn to the De La Salle Brothers because of his religious
spirit, and joined them in 1862. He learned math, science, agriculture and religion while
teaching at a boarding school in Rheims. When France was at war in the 1870s, he cared
for the wounded from both sides. The Brothers asked him to train their new members,
and many held him in great esteem. When he died in Rheims in 1890, he had a reputation
for holiness.
