Père Jacques (born Lucien Bunel) was a French Discalced Carmelite priest and educator who became a prominent figure in the French Resistance. Born in Barentin in 1900, he was ordained in Rouen and later joined his religious order in Lille. During the Nazi occupation of France, he served as a headmaster, using his position to provide sanctuary to Jewish refugees. His courageous actions led to his arrest by the Gestapo in 1944, eventually resulting in his death in a concentration camp.
