On Jauary 25, 1617, what we call "the first sermon of the Mission," took place by St. Vincent de Paul in Folleville: "the confession of a dying peasant, in Gannes, who publicly proclaimed his joy, and the immediate success of the sermon in Folleville, make Saint Vincent aware of the moral misery of country people. The first sermon is followed by a success of other in the lands of the Gondi, with similar success.
