 Amid his many labours, Guéranger had the satisfaction of witnessing the spreading of the restored Benedictine Order.Two unsuccessful attempts at foundations in Paris and the former Acey Abbey did not deter him from new efforts in the same line, and, thanks to his zealous perseverance, monasteries were established at Ligugé and Marseilles.Moreover, in his last years, he oversaw, in collaboration with the first abbess, Mother Cécile Bruyère, the establishment of a community of women under the Rule of St. Benedict at St. Cecilia's Abbey, Solesmes.
