Pierre Veyrat (d. 2014)
	
Pierre Veyat, Pierre Rigaud, and Jean-Marie Mouchet were among more than ninety seminarians at the Oblate of Mary Immaculate scholasticate in a small town about eighty kilometres east of Paris. In July 1944, their active support of the French underground was betrayed to the Nazis. Veyrat was using his artistic talent to create false identity cards. The Allied forces liberated the Oblates before they were sent to Buchenwald, and they able to resume their studies.((Michael Dougherty, “A wish for us.” //Yukon News// (Whitehorse), 28 May 2010.)) 
	
Father Vayrat came to the Yukon in 1947 and again in 1950. He returned in 1967 to stay as the Catholic priest in Ross River.((K. Bisset & Associates, "Research of Former Military Sites and Activities in the Yukon." Whitehorse: Action on Waste Program; Arctic Environmental Strategy and Indians and Northern Affairs, April 1995: 281.)) Father Veyat was the priest at Ross River for forty-one years.((A New Day, “Remembering Father Veyat….” CBC North sound recording of Father Jim Beakley. 2020 website: https://www.cbc.ca/anewday/episodes/2014/03/04/remembering-father-pierre-veyrat/))
