Reverend Father Kawas François (68) died on the morning of Sunday, October 23, 2022 after being hospitalized the day before at the Canapé-Vert hospital following an illness.

Kawas François, Jesuit, was born in Pilate, northern department of Haiti. He holds a master's degree in political sociology from the Iberoamerican University in Mexico City, Mexico, a master's degree in theology from the Catholic Institute of Paris and a doctorate in sociology.

A great intellectual, professor emeritus, Father François is the author of several works, notably "The history of the Jesuits in Haiti in the 18th and 20th centuries (1704-1763-1953-1964)" and "The State and the Church Catholicism in Haiti in the 19th and 20th centuries (1860-1980)". He was also a history teacher at the Center Inter Institut de Formation Religieuse (CIFOR).
