Born Villaret, Savoy, 1506; died Rome, Italy, 1546. In 1525 he went to Paris and entered Saint-Barbe College, where he was a classmate and intimate friend of Saint Francis Xavier and where he met Saint Ignatius Loyola. He was ordained priest in 1534 and soon after joined the small band headed by Ignatius. He assisted at the diets of Worms and Ratisbon, and preached in Parma, Speyer, Mainz, Cologne, and Savoy, counteracting the influence of Lutheranism and reforming the decadent condition of Catholicism in those places. Part of his diary extant shows that he had an extraordinory devotion to the Angels. Beatified on September 5, 1872. Feast, in Jesuit churches, August 8,.
