He had few closed friends such as John Baptist Blain who wrote his biography and Claude Poullart des Places who founded the Holy Spirit Congregation and promised to send him missionaries. In Paris first, he stayed at Fr.
Barmondiere community when Fr. Barmondiere died, he was accepted in Fr. When he was with Fr. Barmondiere, he took classes at Sorbonne University; there was a famine in France and his benefactress abandoned him so he had to go to earn money by watching dead bodies.
During the stay with Fr. Boucher, he got so sick that they thought he would die; he regained his health and was accepted in the Little Seminary. Brenier for six months. He had a desire to become a missionary in mission land but his superior did not agree to his idea. The Bishop consulted Fr.
Leschassier, his spiritual director, who endorsed Montfort to work in Poitiers. He stayed in a recess at Pot-de-Fer street in a very poor situation but God compensated him by giving him the gift of prayer.
