André Bessette
André Bessette, C.S.C. (9 August 1845 – 6 January 1937), more commonly known as Brother André ((フランス語:Frère André)), and since his canonization as St. André of Montreal, was a lay brother of the Congregation of Holy Cross and a significant figure of the Roman Catholic Church among French-Canadians, credited with thousands of reported miraculous healings.〔http://montreal.about.com/od/historypeopleplaces/a/brother_andre_saint_miracle_man_of_montreal.htm〕 He was declared venerable in 1978 and was beatified by Pope John Paul II in 1982.〔CBC News: ("Brother André to become saint," February 19, 2010 ), accessed February 19, 2010〕 Pope Benedict XVI approved the decree of sainthood for Blessed André on February 19, 2010, with the formal canonization taking place on October 17, 2010.〔〔(Canonization of Blessed Brother André: October 17, 2010. St. Joseph's Oratory News. Retrieved 18 Oct,2010 )〕
==Early life==
He was born Alfred Bessette in Mont-Saint-Grégoire, Quebec, a small town situated southeast of Montreal.〔(''An Unlikely Hero'', Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, May 23, 1982 )〕 Bessette was the eighth of 12 children (four of whom died in infancy). He was so frail when he was born that the curé baptized him "conditionally" the following day, completing an emergency ritual performed at his birth. He was from a working-class family; his father, Isaac Bessette, was a carpenter and lumberman, and his mother, Clothilde Foisy Bessette, saw to the education of her children. In 1849, with employment scarce and his family living in poverty, Alfred's father decided to move to Farnham (in Quebec) where he hoped to earn a living as a lumberman. Tragically, he lost his life in an accident, crushed by a falling tree, when Alfred was only nine years old. His mother found herself widowed at the age of forty with ten children in her care. She died of tuberculosis within three years, and Alfred found himself orphaned at the age of twelve.
