TheAbbey of Notre-Dame des Dombes(French:Abbaye Notre-Dame-des-Dombes) is a formerTrappistmonastery located inLe Plantayin theDombesregion, in theAindepartmentof EasternFrance. It is now occupied by members of theChemin Neufmovement.

History[edit]

The monastery was established by 44 monks fromAiguebelle Abbeyin 1863, on the invitation of Mgr Pierre-Henri Gérault de Langalerie,bishop of Belley, with the aim not only of evangelizing the country, but also ofdrainingthe swamps of the Dombes, so as to improve agriculture and fishing and raise the standard of living of the inhabitants.

The importance of the abbey grew quickly, and it was successful in its intended purposes.

In 1937Paul Couturierlaunched theDombes Group(Groupe des Dombes), a francophoneecumenicalgroup consisting of equal numbers of Roman Catholic and Protestant theologians, which met between 1968 and 1997 in the abbey.

DuringWorld War IIthe monks worked with the Resistance and helped many people, especially Jews. There were many visits by theGestapo; on 2 May 1944 two monks were executed, and others arrested. For the community's actions the abbey was awarded in 1946 theLegion of Honour.[1]

In 2001, there were very few monks remaining, who asked theChemin Neuf Communityto come and replace them in their mission of prayer and welcoming visitors.

Jean-Baptiste-Marie Vianney,T.O.S.F.(8 May 1786 – 4 August 1859), commonly known in English asSt. John Vianney, was a French parishpriestwho is venerated in theCatholic Churchas asaintand as thepatron saintof parish priests. He is often referred to as the"Curé d'Ars"(i.e., Parish Priest of Ars), internationally known for his priestly and pastoral work in his parish inArs,France, because of the radical spiritual transformation of the community and its surroundings. Catholics attribute this to his saintly life,mortification, his persevering ministry in the sacrament ofconfession, and his ardent devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary. His feast day is 4 August.

Early life[e

Vianney's studies were interrupted in 1809 when he was drafted intoNapoleon's armies.[3]He would have been exempt, as an ecclesiastical student, but Napoleon had withdrawn the exemption in certain dioceses because of his need for soldiers in hisfight against Spain.[5]Two days after he had to report at Lyons, he became ill and was hospitalized, during which time his draft left without him. Once released from the hospital, on 5 January, he was sent toRoannefor another draft.[3]He went into a church to pray, and fell behind the group. He met a young man who volunteered to guide him back to his group, but instead led him deep into the mountains of Le Forez, to the village ofLes Noes, where deserters had gathered.[5]Vianney lived there for fourteen months,[6]hidden in the byre attached to a farmhouse, and under the care of Claudine Fayot, a widow with four children. He assumed the name Jerome Vincent, and under that name, he opened a school for village children.[7]Since the harsh weather isolated the town during the winter, the deserters were safe fromgendarmes. However, after the snow melted, gendarmes came to the town constantly, searching for deserters. During these searches, Vianney hid inside stacks of fermenting hay in Fayot's barn.

An imperial decree proclaimed in March 1810 granted amnesty to all deserters,[6]which enabled Vianney to go back legally to Ecully, where he resumed his studies. He wastonsuredin 1811, and in 1812 he went to theminor seminaryatVerrières-en-Forez. In autumn of 1813, he was sent to the major seminary at Lyons. Considered too slow, he was returned to Abbe Balley. However, Balley persuaded theVicar generalthat Vianney's piety was great enough to compensate for his ignorance, and the seminarian receivedminor ordersand thesubdiaconateon 2 July 1814, wasordainedadeaconin June 1815, and was ordained priest on 12 August 1815 in theCouvent des Minimes de Grenoble. He said his first Mass the next day,[6]and was appointed the assistant to Balley in Écully.

Curé of Ars[edit]

Vianney came to be known internationally, and people from distant places began traveling to consult him as early as 1827. "By 1855, the number of pilgrims had reached 20,000 a year. During the last ten years of his life, he spent 16 to 18 hours a day in the confessional. Even the bishop forbade him to attend the annual retreats of the diocesan clergy because of the souls awaiting him yonder".[5]He spent at least 11 or 12 hours a day in the confessional during winter, and up to 16 in the summer.[12]

Vianney had a great devotion toSt. Philomena. Vianney regarded her as his guardian and erected a chapel and shrine in honor of the saint. During May 1843, Vianney fell so ill he thought that his life was coming to its end. Vianney attributed his cure to her intercession.

Vianney yearned for the contemplative life of a monk, and four times ran away from Ars, the last time in 1853.[12]He was a champion of the poor as aFranciscan tertiaryand was a recipient of the covetedFrench Legion of Honor,[8]
