Blessed Frederic Ozanam

The fifth of fourteen children, Antoine-Frederic Ozanam was born April 23, 1813 in Milan, Italy. When he was 2, his Catholic family moved to Lyon, France, where his father practiced medicine, often treating patients without charge, while his mother aided poor families. Eleven of Ozanam’s siblings did not survive to adulthood, and at age 16 he overcame a crisis of faith with the support of his philosophy teacher, Father Noirot. “From then on, I believed with an assured faith,” Ozanam later wrote, “and I promised God to devote my life to the service of truth.” In 1831, following his father’s wishes, he enrolled to study law at the Sorbonne in Paris. As rampant poverty beset the city, which faced a cholera epidemic in 1832, religious skepticism thrived. Ozanam spoke and wrote in defense of the Church, and, challenged by critics of the faith to show its relevance, he co-founded a “Conference of Charity” in 1833. Later named the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, and dedicated to serving the concrete needs of the poor, the society soon expanded internationally. A man of thought as well as action, Ozanam earned a doctorate in law (1836) and later in literature (1839), with a groundbreaking thesis on the Italian poet Dante. After law professorship in Lyon, he taught literature at the Sorbonne. In 1841, he married Amelie Soulacroix; four years later they had a daughter, Marie. Ozanam was acutely aware that charity and justice go hand in hand, and his Christian social doctrine was echoed in Pope Leo XIII’s 1891 encyclical Rerum Novarum. He died Sept. 8, 1853, at the age of 40, and was beatified by Pope John Paul II in 1997 at World Youth Day in Paris.
