Pierre-François Jamet was a French Catholic priest born in 1762 who lived through the French Revolution. After being ordained in 1787, he refused to swear an oath of allegiance to the revolutionary government, an act of defiance that led to his arrest and various threats against his life. He is widely recognized for his efforts to rebuild the Sisters of the Good Saviour, a congregation that had significantly declined. For his dedicated service to the priesthood, he received the Legion of Honor in 1827.
