Holiness Recognized by the Church by the bishops of Lyon, Saint John Paul II at the time of his beatification, and Pope Francis. His encounters with several spiritual figures of his time, such as Jean-Marie Vianney, Émilie Tamisier, and Pierre-Julien Eymard. The legacy he inspired in his disciples and those who carried on his work, such as Blessed Édouard Poppe and Alfred Ancel.
Holiness in Action with testimonies gathered in the four volumes of the canonization trial (Sister Véronique Lheraud, Fathers Nicolas Delorme and François Duret, and Bishop Paul Pellet).
Taught Holiness by him through catechesis. It is a matter of « Father Chevrier's Educational Philosophy » and « Evangelical Radicalism« , which features the “Study of the Gospel” and the “Painting of St. Fons.”.
