Biographical history
Fr. Etienne Doumeth was a Lebanese Maronite priest (from Maad) who joined the brothers of Sion (St. Peter's Monastery in Jerusalem) where he taught Arabic. After a few years spent in Saint-Pierre, he was claimed by the Bible School, just opened (1890) and where a teacher of Arabic was sought. Fr. Doumeth then became a Dominican, made profession and lived in the convent of Saint-Etienne during the First World War, when the French fathers and brothers had to leave the country. He died in Saint-Etienne on October 5, 1929.
