1836-1891.  Father Reverony was present at the interview Therese and her father had with Bishop Hugonin on October 31, 1887, and he led the diocesan pilgrimage to Rome in November 1887.  It was he who presented Celine, Therese, and Louis Martin to Pope Leo XIII.  At first uncertain about Therese's entrance, he later became her advocate and was instrumental in obtaining permission for her to enter at fifteen.
