Pierre-François Jamet
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pierre-François Jamet (13 September 1762 - 12 January 1845) was a French Roman Catholic priest who refused to take the oath of allegiance during the French Revolution. He is also called the "Second Founder" due to restoring the dwindled congregation of the Sisters of the Good Saviour. In 1827 he was awarded the Legion of Honor for his service as a priest.[1][2]
