A memory of profession, peace and fraternity in progress
Saturday, May 23, 2026, at the Père-Lachaise (Paris 20th decision),The countries, coasters, companions, aspirants, affiliates, mothers, hostesses and friends of the Devoir met to honor Agricol Perdiguier, a carpenter's companion at the Devoir de Liberté, Avignonnais la Vertu.
After the greetings of custom and the setting up of the banners, the procession joined its burial for a simple homage, marked by the laying of flowers and by words reminiscent of its work of pacification. His great masterpiece was perhaps to have understood that companionship does not live only by its rites, its colours or its customs, but by what brings together the skilled.
The statements recalled that companionship is in the workshop, repeated gesture, effort, travel and transmission.Working the matter is also about working yourself. Error learns, patience shapes, the profession raises.
The presence of the three companion movements gave this commemoration a special strength.In front of the tomb of Avignonnais la Vertu, the encounters desired by itinerants took shape in the same chain of heart and duty.
The gathering continued in front of the columbarium by the chain of alliance. Hands together have reminded that no one is walking alone. The flowering of the tomb of an aspirant has inscribed this memory in the generations.
The descent to Menilmontant, the glass of friendship then the songs extended the day.
In honoring Agricol Perdiguier, the living companionship recalled the path of the profession, friendship and fraternity in progress.
