Father Olivier Maire, who was murdered in western France on Aug. 9, was the local provincial superior of the Montfort Missionaries, a global Catholic religious order founded by St. Louis-Marie Grignion de Montfort. Police found the body of the 60-year-old priest in the town of Saint-Laurent-sur-Sevre in a religious community where he lived. Investigators say his suspected murderer Emmanuel Abayisenga, a 40-year-old Rwandan, is also accused of setting fire to a cathedral in Nantes last year.
