During the Sunday Angelus prayer on July 20, 2025, Pope Leo XIV said some words that are well suited to the special patronage of Our Lady of Peace mentioned here: + "I understand your feeling of being able to do little in the face of this dramatic situation [of war]. You are in the heart of the Pope and of the entire Church. I thank you for your witness of faith. May the Virgin Mary, ... dawn of the new sun that has risen in history, always protect you and accompany the world to a dawn of peace."

On the outskirts of the ancient town of Lay, only a few hundred meters from the village of Thélis where no vestige of the manor which was in all likelihood the cradle of the chivalrous family of that name, still stands the old manor of Pesselay. It is a fifteenth century feudal residence, almost intact, truly remarkable with its high round tower and its majestic facade which looks out over the coast at the foot of which it sits. On this side, a square tower and several grilled windows complete the castle's appearance which appeals to friends of the past. Inside, the kitchen has retained its old fireplace with a large stone mantle; above a door is an unfortunately mutilated escutcheon. Pesselay was originally only a hunting lodge of the lords of Beaujeu. On September 28, 1400, Pierre de Thélis paid homage from Pesselay to the Duke of Bourbon, and gave the count, at Beaujeu, on February 17, 1402, Pierre de Thélis, lord of Pesselay, had married Clémence de la Vulpillière, who tested in November 1414, leaving Guichard, damoiseau, lord of Pesselay; 2° John, substituted for his brother; 3° Isabeau, nun at Beaulieu. On February 6, 1458, Jean Frépier, known as du Bosc or du Bois, residing at the castle of Pesselay, gave the confession and enumeration of his fief which he dismembered shortly after. On November 17, 1470, a count was given by Antoine Fournillon, who acquired land from Jean Freppier, lord of Pesselay and his heirs, Simon du Bois and Michel Charreton, bourgeois of Charlieu.

Sarron Castle is located in the commune of Fourneaux in the French department of Loire. It took this name at the beginning of the 20th century, and was known until then under the name Les Forges. The name Sarron comes from the family who occupied it for more than 350 years. The parish of Fourneaux was divided into two parts, Fourneaux Vernand (named after a hamlet located to the west of the village) and Fourneaux Sarron for the North East part; the sharing was done through the middle of the church. This name of Sarron given to the part of the village where the Château des Forges is located gradually led to the abandonment of the name Les Forges. Source: Wikipedia
