Anthony Combes was born in France in 1827 and made his Novitiate in Paris, France where he received the habit of the Brothers and the religious name of Brother Lothaire Marie. In 1873 he was appointed Visitor of Saigon and remained in that position until 1878 when he came to the United States and worked as an assistant to the Brother Visitor of the Baltimore District. Brother Lothaire Marie was appointed the Brother Visitor of the St. Louis District in 1878 but after only a year his health failed and he was recalled to France where he died at the age of seventy at Fleury-Meudon where he is buried. He had been a De La Salle Christian Brother for forty-seven years.
We pray for God's blessing on our living benefactors and affiliated members
and for eternal rest upon our beloved Brothers, affiliated members, friends, students,
family, and benefactors who have died on this day. May perpetual light shine upon them,
may their souls and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God,
rest in peace. Amen.
