Alfred Bessette was born in 1845 in Quebec, Canada, into a large family that faced financial hardship. Orphaned by age 12, he worked various jobs with little success due to his frail health. In 1870, with his pastor's encouragement, he joined the Congregation of Holy Cross in Montreal, taking the name André. Despite his ill health, which initially led to his rejection, he was eventually accepted with the intervention of the local bishop and served as a porter at Notre-Dame College. His dedication to St. Joseph and his hospitality towards visitors and the sick became widely known, leading to numerous accounts of miraculous healings. | Alfred Bessette was born in 1845 in Quebec, Canada, into a large family that faced financial hardship.
