Eugene’s only sister, Eug\u00e9nie and her husband Armand had five children: Nathalie, Caroline, Louis, C\u00e9sarie and Eug\u00e8ne. The first three had died in their teens and C\u00e9sarie had married in Italy in July 1847. Eug\u00e8ne was the Founder’s only surviving nephew. The biographer Rey mentions his marriage on 25 November 1847:<\/h3>\n

“On the 25th, Bp de Mazenod had the consolation of blessing the marriage of his nephew, Marquis Eug\u00e8ne de Boisgelin, in his chapel, in the presence of a select congregation.<\/em><\/h3>\n

His address, filled with family memories and accompanied by a subdued but very strong emotion, made a deep impression.”<\/em><\/h3>\n

Rey II p 261<\/h3>\n

“From 1841 to 1847, Armand and Bishop de Mazenod sought a marriage partner for him. Several projects of this nature failed because the young ladies involved were not rich enough or because Eugene was hard to please. He only wanted to marry a girl he already knew, a girl who was a musician, etc. Finally, Bishop de Mazenod blessed Eug\u00e8ne\u2019s marriage to Ang\u00e9lique Sallony in his episcopal palace on November 25, 1848. As a wedding gift, the Bishop gave him the Boisgelin mansion which he had bought a few years previously. Eug\u00e8ne and Ang\u00e9lique had seven children.” (https:\/\/www.omiworld.org\/lemma\/boisgelin-armand-natal-de-and-family\/<\/a>)<\/h3>\n

Today their descendants continue to revere the saint in their family whom they still affectionately refer to as their “Oncle Eug\u00e8ne.” Over 200 Boisgelin descendants were present in Rome for his canonization in 1995.<\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
