Fr. Dominique Lagneau blesses Tour de France cyclists on international television
France: SSPX priest blesses cyclists of the Tour de France

Fans of the Tour de France may have seen it on their television screens on Friday, July 16. As the cyclists crossed the Ardeche in mid-afternoon, the camaras paused for a few moments on Fr. Dominique Lagneau at the side of the road as he blessed the riders in a beautiful gesture which was broadcast around the world!

The director of Ignatian retreats at the Priory of Gastines (Maine-et-Loire) was relaxing at his parents home nearby and had simply wanted to witness the passing of the famous bicycle race..."Like everyone else, I went to the edge of the road", he told us that evening. "Suddenly, the TV crew doing to coverage stopped where I was and asked me to bless the riders on their way... I didn't have to be asked twice!"

This Requiem would have been today, May 17th.  Has anyone seen news?




[moral of the story: be careful how you are photographed, because it may
be the mark of your life for which you will be remembered in the future.]

 

Historical context:    recall that Monday, July 16th A.D. 2012,
was 2 days after +Fellay made his announcements after the General
Chapter meeting in the second week of July.  That was after +W had
been "excluded" from the Chapter but before he was "excluded" from
the clique of the Menzingen-denizens, who are controlled by
"someone"............

Error: July 16th was a Monday, not Friday..... unless they mean 2010, it was Friday.

 

Friday evening I went to the normal Mass our Chapel here in Vancouver, it was a requiem Mass for Fr Dominique.  I didn't catch the name so I am glad this was posted so I could lean a bit more about him. Thank you, I will add him to my prayers!

In memoriam...

It is with great sadness that the SSPX’s General House announces the sudden death of Fr. Dominique Lagneau, superior of the Contemplative House Montgardin, occurred Sunday, May 12 at 5:30pm. Apparently he died of a heart attack while he prayed at the Marian Shrine of Our Lady of Laus.

Of French nationality, he was ordained at Econe on June 29, 1981 by Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre, founder of the SSPX. Stationed first in Unieux, he became the prior a year later and was successively appointed professor at the seminaries of Econe and Flavigny. Then he was then rector of the La Reja seminary in Argentina for 13 years, followed as the prior at Dijon, France, a collaborator at Meylan and Gastines and finally the prior for the contemplative house of Montgardin since its opening in 2011. He was also chaplain of the Militia of Mary which he ran with a zeal and communicative enthusiasm.

His funeral will be held on Friday, May 17 in the Franciscan church at Cours Ladoucette.** It will be presided by Bishop Fellay, the SSPX’s Superior General. Fr. Lagneau’s wake will be held in the in the chapel of the Notre Dame House and buried in the house’s cemetery.

**SSPX.org has just learned that the local ordinary of the Gap Diocese, Bishop Jean-Michel Di Falco, visited and prayed before Fr. Lagneau 's body. Noticing the smallness of the Franciscan chapel, he offered and authorized the use of the parish church of Cordeliers in Gap for the Requiem Mass that Bishop Fellay will offer on May 17th.
