Martyred Salesians of Rochefort

The Martyred Salesians of Rochefort, also known as the Rochefort Martyrs, were a group of three De La Salle Brother priests who were among the Christians martyred during the French Revolution. These courageous individuals, namely Blessed Jean Baptiste Guillaume, Blessed Jean Mopinot, and Blessed Pierre-Sulpice-Christophe Faverge, lost their lives on different days in 1794 while aboard prison ships off the coast of Rochefort, France. Although they died separately, they are remembered and commemorated together for their shared sacrifice.
