Hello, welcome to Catholic Saints.

My name is Mary McGeehan, and I am joined with Dr. Elizabeth Klein.

Thank you for being with us.

Thanks for having me.

We're here for another episode of Catholic Saints.

Can't get enough.

So many saints keep coming, so we keep having more episodes about the wonderful lives of the various saints that we can look to and learn from.

So today's episode, we are going to learn about St. Andre Bassett.

Yeah, so Andrew Beset, if you guys listen regularly, watch regularly, you know that most of the saints I do are patristic saints, early church saints.

Sometimes I do medieval saints.

So this is a modern saint.

I forced her. I was like, we need a modern saint.

Yeah, this is a lot of my. But I do make exceptions for Canadian saints because I'm Canadian.

So I have done a couple Canadian saints. And actually, Andre Bissette, I feel like he's, you know, how sometimes people say like Saints stock you or whatever? Sometimes I feel like I've had a couple encounters with Andre Bissette that I

in Montreal before I was Catholic. He wasn't Catholic either. And he had like some bike like tour

planned. Of course, like I'm terrible biking. I'm an academic. What am I even doing? So he like

borrowed this like street bike from somebody. And as soon as I

got on it, I'd know where the brakes were. And I like smash the bike. And so we couldn't go on the bike tour.
