Pierre-Joseph Cassant (6 March 1878 – 17 June 1903) was a French Roman Catholic priest and professed member of the Trappists. During his novitiate he received the religious name of Marie-Joseph and was known for his strong determination to his studies to fulfil his lifelong wish of being ordained to the priesthood.[1]
Cassant suffered from extreme tuberculosis around the time of his ordination and died not long after he was made a priest.
Pope John Paul II celebrated his beatification on 3 October 2004.
