R.I.P.

C'est avec une profonde tristesse que la Maison Générale de la Fraternité Sacerdotale Saint-Pie X nous fait part du décès brutal de Monsieur l'abbé Dominique LAGNEAU, Supérieur de la Maison contemplative de Montgardin, survenu le dimanche 12 mai vers 17 H 30. Il a manifestement succombé à une crise cardiaque alors qu'il se recueillait au sanctuaire marial de Notre-Dame de Laus.

De nationalité française, il avait été ordonné à Ecône le 29 juin 1981 par Son Excellence Mgr Marcel Lefebvre, fondateur de la FSSPX. En poste à Unieux, il en devint le prieur un an plus tard puis fut nommé successivement professeur au séminaire d'Ecône et de Flavigny. Il a été ensuite Directeur du séminaire de La Reja en Argentine pendant 13 ans, prieur à Dijon, collaborateur à Meylan et Gastines et enfin prieur de la Maison contemplative de Montgardin depuis son ouverture en 2011. Il était également aumônier général de la Milice de Marie qu'il dirigeait avec un zèle et un enthousiasme communicatifs.

Ses funérailles auront lieu vendredi 17 mai 2013 à 15 H 00 en l'église des Cordeliers, Cours Ladoucette 05000 GAP. Elles seront présidées par S. Exc. Mgr FELLAY, Supérieur Général de la FSSPX. Le corps est exposé à la chapelle de la Maison Notre-Dame. Il sera enterré dans le cimetière de la maison.

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!"

Prayer for our deceased priests

O God, Thou didst raise Thy servant, Father (name)., to the sacred priesthood of Jesus Christ, according to the Order of Melchisedech, giving him the sublime power to offer the Eternal Sacrifice, to bring the Body and Blood of Thy Son Jesus Christ down upon the Altar, and to absolve the sins of men in Thine own Holy Name. We beseech Thee to reward his faithfulness and to forget his faults, admitting him speedily into Thy Holy Presence, there to enjoy forever the recompense of his labors. This we ask through Jesus Christ Thy Son, Our Lord. Amen.

[Gloria]

Eternal rest grant unto him O Lord and let Thy perpetual light shine upon him. May his soul and all the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God rest in peace. Amen†

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.
