Their remarkable cultural and historical links with the Prémontrés of France,and their leading priest, poet and writer, Xavier de Fourvières (a Provençal language writer and colleague of Mistral) - he was Prior of Storrington 1903-1912 - has been washed away with the arrival of Chemin Neuf - probably not their fault. Do they know what they're replacing? I hope so<br />Given their French Catholic background I suggest they re-esatablish contact with their spiritual forbears - Pr.
