=2. MONSIGNOR POMPALLIER TO FATHER CHAMPAGNAT. LYON. 7 OCTOBER 1836.=
([[Abbreviations|''CSG'']] 1. 210-11)

==Introduction==
Jean-Baptiste Francois Pompallier (1802-1871), ordained in 1829, joined Champagnat the same year at the Hermitage as a Marist aspirant. When the Marists decided to accept the mission of Western Oceania he was proposed as Vicar Apostolic. He was officially appointed in May 1836 and consecrated titular Bishop of Maronea in Rome in June. Back in France he attended the Marist priests' retreat at Belley in September, but since, as a bishop, he could not take vows in the new Society, he made a promise of attachment instead. He gave Champagnat power of attorney to deal with his affairs in France a few days later, on September 30 (S2 434). After blessing the new chapel at the Hermitage on October 4, he went to Lyon where he stayed at the Marist house of Puylata. His group of missionaries included four priests and three brothers who had made perpetual profession as Brothers of Mary: Joseph-Xavier Luzy, Michel Colombon, and Marie-Nizier Delorme. Pompallier took Joseph Xavier and two of the priests with him to Paris on 10th October. Champagnat sent the other two brothers to Lyon on the 11th and they set out for Paris on the 16th. Their ship, the “Delphine”, was originally scheduled to depart Le Havre de Grace on the Channel coast on October 25th. Finances were to be one of the bishop's main problems; he was to have difficulties on this count with Propaganda in Rome and the Lyon-based Society for the Propagation of the Faith, as well as with the Society of Mary.
