Louis Brisson

Photograph sometime between 1870-90. Louis Brisson, OSFS (23 June 1817 – 2 February 1908) was a French Roman Catholic priest and the founder of both the Oblate Sisters of St. Francis de Sales and the Oblates of St. Francis de Sales. He founded the female branch alongside Léonie Aviat and the male branch alongside the Servant of God Thérèse Chappuis. Brisson's founding of the congregations stemmed from his desire to improve the working conditions of middle-class girls and to ensure their protection and the promotion of their faith.

His beatification received approval from Pope Benedict XVI and it was celebrated in France on 22 September 2012. Provided by Wikipedia
