Biography

Blessed Antoine-Frédéric Ozanam, born on April 23, 1813, in Milan, Italy, was the fifth child of Jean and Marie Ozanam. Unfortunately, out of their 14 children, only three survived to adulthood. Despite facing the immense loss of his siblings, Antoine-Frédéric grew up in a deeply religious household that nurtured his spiritual life.
