Charles de Foucauld, a French soldier and explorer, became a Catholic priest and hermit who resided among the Tuareg people in the Algerian Sahara. Following his ordination in 1901, he established a presence in Béni Abbès with the goal of creating a new religious community. Embracing an apostolic method, he lived with the Berbers and spread his message through his actions. Tragically, he was assassinated in 1916 and was canonized as a saint by Pope Francis in 2022.
