Following receipt of recent information concerning Fr. Xavier Tilliette, as friends and scholars we would like to signify our deep concern to the Father General S.J., to the Provincial S.J. and to the public. It saddens us to read that Father Tilliette left Paris yesterday for Lille. as The Jesuit Residence at Rue de Grenelle can no longer accommodate ill and aged persons... So they sent him to Lille…
Even though earlier he very much resented the idea of being "moved" outside
Paris, he accepted with great serenity his fate. We have known him for almost 30 years. We only hope that this expatriation will not prove deleterious and shorten his life, which is often the case with persons of this age. Given the generosity with which he worked and is still working for the Kingdom of God, giving his life for the Church, “En todo amar y servir”, everyone can consider him a true Jesuit.
In the light of the above concerns, we respectfully ask You, Father Provincial S.J., to re-consider this decision.
At present the total number of the signatures is:
