Answer
Answer
From Fr. Paul Bernier, SSS:
The Latin at the top is from the old Latin Mass: "Through him, with him, and in him..." The French is from Fr. Eymard, expressing his love for the place (the Calvary of St. Romans) and says: "Do not forget my rock,,, andits chapel." The word roche actually means rock; rocher has the implication of a a huge rock outcropping (which in this case had plenty of room for both a calvary and a chapel).
