Louis Henriot (J08) makes Simple Profession
BROTHER LOUIS HENRIOT (J08) made his Simple Profession as a monk of
the Abbaye Notre-Dame de Fontgombault near Poitiers, of the Solesmes
Conmgregation, on the Feast of the Transfiguration, 6 August 2011. He
had made a Consecration to Our Lady on 25 March 2011. On this occasion,
Br Louis and his family gave to Fr Abbot and the Community of
Ampleforth a replica of their shrine of Notre-Dame du-Mourir [Our Lady
of a Happy Death]. Br Louis went to the Abbey of Fontgombault in Spring
2009. Fontgombault, built on the right bank of the River Creuse, was
founded in 1091, when the monks began building the vast and beautiful
Abbey. In 1791, in the Revolution, the Abbey was partly destroyed and
closed. It was refounded from Solesmes in 1948.
