Venerable Pierre Toussaint
THE CATHOLIC ANSWER TO CRITICAL RACE THEORY:
Venerable Pierre Toussaint
Few people know of the quiet heroism that dwelt within this man. A Haitian-American hairdresser, philanthropist and former slave brought to New York City in 1787, Venerable Pierre Toussaint voluntarily took on the support his mistress Madame Bérard after the death of her husband, plantation owner Jean Bérard. In this way, Toussaint became a living example of the freedom and dignity that is found in a life of service to one’s fellow man.
Toussaint attended daily Mass for sixty-six years at St. Patrick’s Cathedral in New York City. He owned a house on Franklin Street, where he and his wife sheltered orphans; he sometimes helped them get their first jobs through his connections in the city. Known throughout New York at the turn of the century for his wisdom, charitable works and refined manners, Pierre Toussaint embodied the true Christian spirit, attainable to all who follow in the footsteps of Our Lord.
