Bishop Jules Brault, O.M.I., served as Bishop of Jaffna from 1919 to 1923. Though his episcopal ministry was cut short by his early death, his profound spiritual leadership left a lasting mark on the diocese. Ascending to the episcopate in the aftermath of World War I, Bishop Brault focused on post-war spiritual renewal, organizing diocesan missions, strengthening catechetical teaching in parishes, and providing relief to rural communities suffering from economic hardships. He was remembered by the clergy and laity of Jaffna as a shepherd of humble prayer, deep Marian devotion, and tireless dedication to the welfare of the poor.
