L'abbé Franz Stock (1904-48) was a German Catholic priest. He was chaplain in prisons during World War II, ministering to condemned men. He was the spiritual director of the 'séminaire des barbelés' in Chartres. On his death he was buried in the cemetery in Thais, although his remains were moved in 1963 to the very impressive L'Église de Saint-Jean-Baptiste in Rechèvres, Chartres, constructed in 1961, where his tomb lies. Unfortunately, a heavily sunned notice on the church door informed us that the church was, er, temporarily closed apart from at the time of Mass.
