Biography

Blessed Noël Pinot was ordained a priest in 1771 and served for several years as assistant pastor at different parishes. Parish priest at Saint Aubin, France in 1788, with a special ministry with the sick.

During the French Revolution, he was required to take an oath of loyalty to the new government an oath that was opposed to Church principles. He refused and was ordered to leave his parish and not to come closer to it than eight miles for at least two years. He left and then returned in secret ministering to his flock. Some of his brother priests took the civil oath, but Noel convinced several of them to take it and be faithful to the Church.

In 1793, a counter-revolution began in western France. However, when these forces won, Pinot returned ministering to his flock. Unfortunately, the forces of the Revolution began to win again, and Pinot became a wanted man. He was then captured by government soldiers while preparing for Mass and was imprisoned for twelve days with a death sentence for refusing to take the oath, and encouraging others to do so.
