Biography
Blessed Pierre-Joseph Cassant, also known as Joseph-Marie Cassant, was born on 6 March 1878 in Casseneuil, Lot-et-Garonne, France. From a young age, he displayed a deep piety and felt a strong calling to the priesthood. However, after receiving tutoring from his parish priest, it became evident that Pierre-Joseph would struggle to fulfill the requirements of diocesan seminary studies.
