Life
The former diocesan priest Orsise Carayon was elected in 1837 as the successor of Étienne Malmy as the second abbot of the Cistercian Abbey of Stricter Observance ("Trappist") Aiguebelle and on July 22, 1838 he was appointed by Archbishop Célestin Dupont of Avignon . During his term of office he devoted himself to the revision of the constitutions and the enlargement of the monastery property and introduced a strict observance of rules. A few years after taking office, the convention had 200 members, so that two subsidiaries could be established: Staouëli in Algeria (1843) and Neiges in the Ardèche department (1852).
Carayon resigned in 1852 and retired to Bellefontaine Abbey . In 1858 he went as a confessor to the Trappist sisters in the Blagnac monastery and in 1866 again as prior to Bellefontaine. He died in 1876 as a chaplain in the Gardes monastery .
