History
There was in Lesterps, in the late the 10th century, a chapel named Stirpis for What is a religious community founded "for the name and the glory of the Holy and Undivided Trinity and St. Peter himself memory Similarly, where dwell the clergy and free and loose people of any service to us, " that Jordan I, lord of Chabanais, gave, with a manse, the Holy See. The authors of the Gallia Christiana, in the seventeenth century, who published the charter of the foundation, undated, the are around 1032. It seems certain, however, that the construction of the monastery was begun some years earlier.
The foundation of the new abbey, under the patronage of St. Peter, was approved by Dia, wife of Jordan I, and their son Jordan II, Boson, who was a monk at Monte Cassino, and Renaud, abbot of Charroux.
Changing status
Some years later, in 1038, according to the abbot Rougerie, Gautier, son of a knight of Confolens, high and become regular canon at St. Dorat in Israel, was called to govern the abbey of Lesterps, where he introduced the rule of St. Augustine, which made it an Augustinian abbey
Wars, looting and destruction
In 1040, Jordan II, denying the words of his father, invaded the monastery and fortifying it, fleeced the country.
Adalbert II, Earl of March, to end this robbery, engaged in Lesterps, with its vassal, a terrible struggle that took a very large number of deaths in which the monastery was put to fire and sword, and church largely destroyed. Gautier, who was traveling to the Holy Land, escaped the massacre with a small number of canons.
Urged by Pope Benedict IX and King Henry I, the Lord of Chabanais and the Count of La Marche last providing for religious annuities for the reconstruction of the monastery, and compensate the inhabitants of the town that had suffered from the war.
Recovered possession of the abbey, Father Gautier devoted himself, with the help of his new benefactors to its restoration.
He carried out the restoration of the church, which he solemnly celebrated the dedication in the presence of the bishops of the province (unknown date ...).
He died in 1070, and was buried in the church. He soon to be numbered among the saints, as the saint Gautier, and while his cult established in 1091 in the church he had raised his name, long object of great veneration was associated with that of St. Peter in the word of the church of Lesterps. At that time, the church was the subject of a new blessing, which might suggest opening a new part of the monument to culte.
Ademar, a brother of Fulk Taillefer Count of Angouleme succeeded him.
Then Ramnulfe was abbot from 1110 to 1140. This seems likely to be related to the great work which, at that time, had to lead to the construction of a sumptuous apse. Indeed, this abbot was buried in the church where his epitaph, engraved on a black stone in uncial ornate, still celebrates its long abbot. Father Ramnulfe built a large ambulatory with radiating chapels, a transept with collateral and double span.
The religious wars were disastrous to the Abbey of Lesterps. In November 1567 a leader of bands Calvinists, Compaignac at the head of the armies of Admiral de Coligny plundered and gave to the flames the town and the monastery.
The abbey remained in ruins until the administration of Charles-François de La Vieuville Rennes bishop and abbot of St. Laumer Blois, abbot of Lesterps of 1657-1676.
He introduced the Canons Regular of the Congregation of France, the Génovéfains, congregation the rigorous rule, also known congregation of France, which was founded by Cardinal François de la Rochefoucauld and restored the regular places; he completely rebuilt the vast building which follows the south transept, and today is limited to the location occupied by the cloister, and settled in 16696.
Despite these restorations, the church of Lesterps, a century later, needed a lot of réparations.
Despite his two chairs of education, a theology and philosophy of another community had difficulties. The church became dangerous and was banned by the bishop of Limoges in 1738, and the Revolution, there were only three monks.
It is sold as national property in 1790.
Around 1815, the choir was still standing; lack of maintenance, it gradually succumbed to the elements. By mid-century, his remains were exploited as a career.

The abbey church was partly abandoned and partly transformed into a parish church. He currently remains of the abbey church three bays covered with a barrel vault, St. Peter's church, the gray granite, monumental and original with its high bell tower.

It also contains a painting of St. Peter of the eighteenth century.

All that remains of the original monastery, the imposing bell Galilee, 43 meters high, which is similar to bell-Carolingian porches of the tenth century. It is located west of the building. wp

My name is Fern Taillefer, President of the Canadian Association of Veterans in United Nations Peacekeeping (CAVUNP), Central Ontario Chapter located in Barrie. The Association is a non-profit organization as well as non-political and non sectarian. We wish to perpetuate the memories and deeds of our fallen comrades who lost their lives in defence of freedom, as well as donate to schools and public libraries, literature on Canada's participation in the United Nations Peacekeeping Forces.
We have a National Monument in Ottawa to recognize the sacrifice and service of Canadians in United Nations missions. Various Chapters across Canada have memorials to recognize those efforts.
Our Chapter in Barrie has the unique opportunity to have a 2 ½ acre park leased from the Township of Essa known as PEACEKEEPERS’ PARK. The Royal Canadian Legion (Edward Macdonald Branch 499) in Angus is our partner in this endeavor with the Township. The piece of property donated by Essa Township was the brainchild of one of our members, Gerry Tremblay who was with the recovery team in 1974. He personally knew all of the members killed.
The initial idea and concept for the park was mine and when I presented it to the chapter it was unanimous. We approached a company called Curbex with our idea and they went with it. Artist concept then the research that had to be conducted to make sure I got all the names right etc. We started however with a huge stone which is described below.
In 2008, the Chapter raised $18,000 to purchase and have installed at the park a large six ton polished maple leaf stone which we unveiled and dedicated on Aug 9th of that year to our Peacekeeping veterans. This completed phase one of our long range plans.
Contributions to date have allowed phase two of the plan which was the construction and erection in 2010 of a Memorial Wall which includes the names of 283 Canadians who have died while serving on United Nations missions. This includes 158 killed in Afghanistan, and three RCMP killed in Haiti. The cost of this phase was approximately $60,000.00 Two of the members killed in Afghanistan were Military Policeman.
The vision of the park is to include recognition of all UN missions that involved Canadian participation. The current plan is to have pedestals placed along a (wheel chair accessible) path to identify the missions performed. There will be benches to sit on at each pedestal area placed on an interlocking brick pad. If you wish to have your name placed on the bench as a sponsor to the park, this can be arranged.
Due to cost, this will take several phases to complete. Plans include recognition of the effort and sacrifice by Canadian Forces in Korea, where 516 lives were lost.
The total expected cost of completing this project is expected to be well over $100 000.
Peacekeeping Day was created to recognize the service of Canadians in far-away places in the service of peace. Since 1948, members of Canada's Armed Forces and Diplomatic service have served on peacekeeping missions around the world. Additionally, since 1992, members of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, provincial and municipal police forces have served in Peace Support missions around the world. It was to recognize the service of Canadians past, present and in the future that Peacekeeping Day was created.
9 August was chosen because on that date in 1974 the greatest single loss of Canadian lives on a peacekeeping mission occurred. Nine Canadian peacekeepers serving with the United Nations Emergency Force in Egypt and Israel, were flying in a Canadian Forces "Buffalo" transport aircraft on UN service which was shot down by Syrian air defence missiles while preparing to land at Damascus, Syria on a regular resupply mission. There were no survivors. Two of these are from the Angus area. Every year family members attend the 9 Aug parade to remember and commemorate.
Canada's first casualty on a peacekeeping mission occurred in 1951 when Acting-Brigadier HH Angle of Kamloops, BC died in a plane crash in Kashmir on the border between India and Pakistan. Since then, 114 members of the Canadian Armed Forces and one member of Canada's diplomatic service have died in far-off lands in the service of peace. The spouse and mother of the deceased receive the Memorial Cross, a gesture of commemoration from the Government of Canada begun in 1919 for casualties of WW1 and continued for casualties of WW 2, the Korea conflict and for casualties on peacekeeping missions.
On this day, we recognize the families of our peacekeepers who keep up the morale of our peacekeepers with cards and letters, parcels and gifts. They play a central part too helping their spouses to adjust to the peace and tranquility of their home and country when they return.
We also recognize and thank other Canadians who have given freely of their time to support our Peacekeepers abroad. In particular are the ham radio operators who nightly have connected to the military ham radio operators calling from the missions and linked the peacekeepers to their families back in Canada. This most valuable service, always given freely, has been a strong element in maintaining family morale. We also thank the families that knit the "Izzy Dolls", small dolls given to the children whom Canadian peacekeepers meet as they patrol their assigned areas. Created by his family in memory of Master Corporal Mark Isfeld who died in 1994 while serving in the former Yugoslavia, the dolls have brought much pleasure to children in many countries suffering the ravages of brutal conflict.
Peacekeeping Day, 9 August is about recognition and commemoration; of peacekeepers past, present and yet to come and their families; recognition and thanks to those who help make the peacekeeping duty less arduous; and remembering our fallen comrades who have died in the service of peace.
I have included a photo of the wall as well as the official Ribbon Cutting ceremony with the Senior Peacekeeper General Meloche, myself, Paul Korejwo son of MWO Korejwo killed on 9 Aug 74 and Jack Stringer father of Cpl Stringer killed on 9 Aug 74.
The third photo is a concept of the park yet to come with plaques at various stations depicting the 58 missions Canada has been involved in in peacekeeping/peace support/peacemaking operations around the world. I have also enclosed a photo of the stone installed in 2008.
I would invite all members of the IPA to join us in our annual Peacekeepers Parade. You would be more than welcome.
If you need anymore info, please don't hesitate to call.
In the service of peace;
Fern Taillefer
President

ANGUS - The annual Peacekeepers’ Parade on Saturday 9 Aug 2014 in Angus recognized a dark but important chapter in Canada’s peacekeeping history.

Parade organizer Fern Taillefer, president of Central Ontario Chapter of the Canadian Peacekeeping Association, said Saturday’s parade falls on the 40th anniversary of one of the worst peacekeeping tragedies in the country’s history.
“We expect a very large turnout this year with representation of legions from all around the area,” he wrote in an email, adding the parade will probably one of the biggest to date.
Peacekeepers’ Day on Aug. 9 is in honour of those who sacrificed their lives while serving in peacekeeping roles, as well as for current and former service personnel.
It recognizes members of the Canadian Forces, the RCMP and other civilian personnel who have served in NATO missions or in other capacities.
Peacekeepers’ Park in Angus was created in 2004, the same year Peacekeepers’ Day was officially recognized.
Three years ago, an honour wall with the names of those killed on peacekeeping missions was installed at the park and earlier this year replica UN guard posts were installed at the property.
Two of the names on the wall share a strong connection with the community.
Acting Master Warrant Officer Cyril Korejwo and Cpl. Bruce Stringer, both from Angus, along with seven other Canadians were killed Aug. 9, 1974 after a plane they were aboard flying over Syria was shot down. To date, it’s considered the largest single-day loss of Canadian lives during a peacekeeping mission.
Peacekeepers’ Day was inaugurated on the 30th anniversary of the tragedy.
“Peacekeeping Day is about recognition and commemoration of peacekeepers past, present and yet to come and their families, recognition and thanks to those who help make the peacekeeping duty less arduous, and remembering our fallen comrades who have died in the service of peace,” he said.
The wall of honour includes the names of the 116 Canadian peacekeepers that died while serving with the United Nations and other peacekeeping missions. It also includes the names of the 158 Canadian soldiers who lost their lives in Afghanistan, three Royal Canadian Mounted Police killed in Haiti and a small representation of the Korea Veterans killed in peacekeeping duties.
The short parade will start at 10:30 a.m. at the LCBO plaza and march towards Peacekeepers’ Park at the north end of Mill Street.
The procession will include members from the local peacekeeping association, volunteer firefighters, representatives from the OPP and the RCMP, legion members, soldiers from CFB Borden, cadets and more.
After the parade a ceremony will be held at the park next to the memorial wall, followed by a reception at the Angus Legion on Fraser Street starting around noon.
