Henri Perreyve

Henri Perreyve (born at Paris, 11 April 1831; died there 18 June 1865) was a French Oratorian priest.

He received his classical education at the Collège Saint-Louis.

With Auguste Joseph Alphonse Gratry, and under the guidance of Father Pététol, they began the restoration of the Oratory.

He was ordained priest in 1858, appointed chaplain to the Lycée Saint-Louis in 1860, and one year later was called to the professorship of ecclesiastical history at the Sorbonne.

He was an influential figure, and linked by friendship with the Catholic leaders of the time in France: Ozanam, Montalembert, Cochin, and especially Jean-Baptiste-Henri Lacordaire.
