Pontigny
In 1843, a group of "Auxiliary Priests" were established on the grounds of the Cistercian Abbey at Pontigny in Burgundy, France.  This group went on to found the Society of Saint Edmund, and it was the Edmundites who founded Saint Michael's in 1904.  This exhibit includes materials from the College Archives about life at Pontigny, including several photographs, newspaper articles, and a poster.
