:Fr Auguste Arribat... hid Jewish children during WW II...." Good man, eh?
Len Polsky
The Church of Treedou
The church is confirmed from 1087 (gift to the monastery of Mountsalvy by Pons d'Etienne, Bishop of Rodez). The 16th century building (western part of the church) was restored and redesigned at the very start of the 20th century and in 2009 (western span of the nave and choir).
A plaque there commemorates the memory of Father Auguste Arribat (1879-1963).
A native of Tredou, he received the title of ‘Righteous among the Nations’ for having hidden Jewish children during World War II. This servant of God, and of men, was made the subject of a Positio (procedure preliminary to canonization) for his heroic and virtuous life.
More anecdotally, with the film St. James … Mecca: it is in the Tredou cemetery that the young Ramzi, dyslexic and illiterate, persuaded that he is going to the capital of the Muslim faith, discovers that he can read!
