Jean de la Noë-Mesnard (1651-1717). Friend of the Oratorians, he was a member of the Saint-Clément community. From a merchant family, trained as a jurist, he became famous for his teaching (giving conferences every Thursday at the Saint-Clément presbytery). Theologian, editor of the 1689 diocesan catechism (a question-and-answer catechism adopted by several dioceses and introduced by the Jesuits in China), he organized courses in Holy Scripture at the Seminary. In 1695, the bishop - another Mgr de Beauvau - additionally appointed him superior of the Saint-Clément community whose Jansenism concerned him. The proclamation of the bull Unigenitus against Jansenism would disrupt the Nantes clergy and the Oratorians would be forbidden to teach, La Noë-Mesnard was suspected. He would die a few years later.
