Rémy Isoré was a French Jesuit missionary born in Bambecque in 1852. After training at the seminary in Saint-Acheul and studying theology in Jersey, he traveled to China in 1882 to serve the Church. Although he had originally requested a mission in Zambia, he spent his priestly career working in various roles throughout China. He was eventually martyred during the Boxer Rebellion while serving his community in the Zhili province.
