Very dynamic, open minded, able to relate to all generations and without forgetting his love for food. VVery often, Pere Nicolas was misunderstood, even by his fellow priests because he was always straight to the point, stern, and outspoken which may have gotten him into trouble at times. Our dear Nicolas was very attached to the Church, for which he lived and breathed. A new residence was built just for him, but he refused to move, as he wanted to remain close to the Church and the people. He remained in his residence at the Center of Catechism Domus Matia until his last day. His legacy for his family and all who love him is to always keep your Character, guard our Personality and never negotiate your Integrity.
