Brother Peter Chanel Arel FMS
(Arthur Joseph Arel)
Bro Peter Chanel was born September 5, 1918 to Adelard and Marie Louise (Bussière) Arel. He has had three brothers: Emile and Raymond have died and his brother Joseph lives in Haverhill MA. Emile died at 51 and had two sons, Gerard who is single and David. Two of his three sisters have died. His remaining sister lives in Haverhill MA. The family were parishioners of St Joseph's RC Church in Haverhill MA.
In 1933, he joined the Marist Brothers, taking the vows of poverty, chastity and obedience at St Anne's Hermitage, Poughkeepsie NY on July 26, 1938. He received the holy habit of the Brothers the preceding year at St Ann's Hermitage, again on July 26, 1937.
He earned a BS in Education in 1946 from Fordham University. He was certified as an LPN from Soldier's Home in Chelsea MA in 1962 and received similar certification for New York State in 1966.
Brother Peter held the following positions: teacher, procurator, cook, prefect, Director of a House of Retirement of Marist Brothers. He lived in Rome, Italy for two years, and traveled to France, Switzerland, Australia, Japan and several other countries.
From 1960 until his retirement in 1984, he provided medical care for retired and infirmed Marist Brothers in Massachusetts, New York and Florida. He retired from active ministry in 1984 due to a heart condition. He was admitted to St Anne's Nursing Center (Miami FL) on March 1, 2001, where he resided until his death. While there he enjoyed visiting with the Marist Brothers on Sundays. He enjoyed having lunch with them, then going to one of the local parks, one of the shopping malls, and even at times to Hollywood Beach or to Miami Beach. He spoke both French and English. He could surprise you with his wit when you got to know him and always had a ready smile.
