French Monks.-Dom Maurus Mas

thirteen years, has returned to France,
to effect the return of the Benedictine
Community of La Pierre-qui-Vire to
their ancient abbey. This community
has been in exile in Belgium for more
than fifteen years. The departure of
Prior Masse once more shows the ro-
nance of the Faith. for, in no pre-
meditated manner, he left Buckfast
for France on the very day on which,
thirty-seven years ago, the monks en-
PEELED from Pierre-qui-Vire arrived at
Buckfast after momentary halt in
Ireland. Then, it was the Prior of
Pierre-aui-Vire who led the monks to

of Buckfast leading the eXiled monks
in Belgium back to their old home at
Pierre-qui-Vire.
