Father Olivier Sarr, O.S.B., (pictured at right) a monk from Senegal, was the second student at Sant’ Anselmo to receive the Perchak Scholarship at Sant' Anselmo. He is from Abbaye de Keur Moussa, Senegal. He entered the monastery in 1997 and was sent to France by his abbot to study theology in Solesmes and complete his bachelor’s degree in Avignon in 2005.

First of all, I would like to introduce myself. My religious name is Sister Marianne Cablar and Milagros Cablar is my baptismal name. I was born on April 22, 1968.
