André-Hubert Fournet

André-Hubert Fournet (6 December 1752 – 13 May 1834) was a French Roman Catholic priest and the co-founder – alongside Jeanne-Elisabeth Bichier des Ages – of the Sisters of the Cross. Fournet had a disdain for religion in his childhood but became a priest due to the shining example and influence of an uncle of his. He later fled France in 1792 following a brief arrest during the French Revolution after refusing to take the oath, and returned sometime later where he met Bichier.
