Montligeon: Shrine for Souls in Purgatory.
History
When Father Paul Buguet (d. 1918) arrived in the village of Montligeon, the place was very poor and the locals were going elsewhere to look for work. In order to provide work for his parishioners, Fr. Paul Buguet became a printer and a quarryman. To light up the path from earth to heaven, he became both a missionary and a builder. Two works--one of social concern, the other more mystical--developed in parallel.
“I was trying to reconcile a double goal: to have people pray for neglected souls, and, at the same time, to obtain through these souls the means by which the worker could make a decent living.”
The church became a place of pilgrimage, so Fr. Buguet had an astonishing basilica built in the “middle of nowhere”: from a distance, one would claim it was a cathedral. He also created a printing company and bought old houses in order to lodge the workers and interpreters ... The outreach rapidly became global.

Montligeon: Shrine for Souls in Purgatory

There still operates "La fraternité Notre-Dame de Montligeon", which continues the activities of the famous purgatory confraternity, endowed with the status of Archconfraternity by Leo XIII in 1893, and the status of "Prima- Primaria" by the same Pope in 1895.
