Louis Brisson
Louis Brisson, OSFS (23 June 1817 – 2 February 1908) was a French Catholic priest who founded the Oblate Sisters of St. Francis de Sales and the Oblates of St. Francis de Sales.
He founded the female branch alongside Léonie Aviat and the male branch alongside Thérèse Chappuis. Brisson's founding of the congregations stemmed from his desire to improve the working conditions of middle-class girls and to ensure their protection and the promotion of their faith. He was beatified by Pope Benedict XVI in 2012.
