Give rather than receive, Father Pistre brought this maxim taken from the Gospel to life in the heart of the fray as in the exercise of his priesthood. Priest, Rugby player, educator, journalist and soldier, he put his multiple talents at the service of his neighbors with generosity, good-naturedness, truculence and a sense of duty. If Henri Pistre has become a legend, it is because his clothing did not only make the priest.
As part of the tribute paid to him this Tuesday, November 5 to commemorate the 90th anniversary of his taking office as coach of Castres Olympique, a conference will be given by his nephew, Henri Pistre, at 6 p.m. at the Irish Pub The Quay. At 8:30 p.m., at the Castres municipal theater, baritone Omar Hasan will give a recital entitled Belcantor. An initiative of the Compagnons du Théâtre in partnership with the city of Castres, the department of Tarn, the Catholic parish of Castres, and Castres Olympique.
Former right pillar of the Argentinian Pumas, Omar Hasan has become a baritone. Belcantor tells the story of Omar Hasan, this poet of the lawns and the stage. To open the recital, the lyrical choir of the Compagnons du Théâtre will perform the Olympic Anthem
