About André Hubert Fournet
- Saint André-Hubert Fournet (6 December 1752 – 13 May 1834) was a French Roman Catholic priest and the co-founder - alongside Saint Jeanne-Elisabeth Bichier des Ages- of the Sisters of the Cross.
- Fournet had a disdain for religion in his childhood but became a priest due to the shining example and influence of an uncle of his.
- He later fled France in 1792 following a brief arrest during the French Revolution after refusing to take the oath and returned sometime later where he met Bichier.Fournet's canonization cause opened under Pope Pius IX in 1877 and he became titled as a Servant of God while Pope Benedict XV named him as Venerable upon the confirmation of his heroic virtue.
- Pope Pius XI beatified him in 1926 and canonized him a short while after in 1933.
