Daniel Brottier was a French Catholic priest of the Congregation of the Holy Spirit who lived from 1876 to 1936. He served as a missionary in Senegal, where he worked to support local education and child welfare, and later acted as a military chaplain during World War I. In his later years, he managed an orphanage in the Auteuil suburb of Paris, significantly expanding its capacity to care for vulnerable children. Recognized for his heroic virtue, he was beatified by Pope John Paul II in 1984.
