The Reverend Father Douillard strove for the completion of his task with a truly apostolical zeal.

He hoped to restore the prerogatives of St.Orberosia as the patron saint of Penguinia and to dedicate to her a monumental church on one of the hills that dominate the city.

His efforts had been crowned with great success, and for the accomplishing of this national enterprise he had already united more than a hundred thousand adherents and collected more than twenty millions of francs.
It was in the choir of St.Mael's that St.Orberosia's new shrine, shining with gold, sparkling with precious stones, and surrounded by tapers and flowers, had been erected.
The following account may be read in the "History of the Miracles of the Patron Saint of Alca" by the Abbe Plantain: "The ancient shrine had been melted down during the Terror and the precious relics of the saint thrown into a fire that had been lit on the Place de Greve; but a poor woman of great piety, named Rouquin, went by night at the peril of her life to gather up the calcined bones and the ashes of the blessed saint.

She preserved them in a jam-pot, and when religion was again restored, brought them to the venerable Cure of St.Maels.The woman ended her days piously as a vendor of tapers and custodian of seats in the saint's chapel." It is certain that in the time of Father Douillard, although faith was declining, the cult of St.Orberosia, which for three hundred years had fallen under the criticism of Canon Princeteau and the silence of the Doctors of the Church, recovered, and was surrounded with more pomp, more splendour, and more fervour than ever.

The theologians did not now subtract a single iota from the legend.
