Benedict Joseph Labre, TOSF (French: Benoît-Joseph Labre, 25 March 1748 – 16 April 1783) was a French Franciscan tertiary, and Catholic saint. Labre was from a well-to-do family near Arras, France. After attempting a monastic lifestyle, he opted instead for the life of a pilgrim.
He was also the patron saint of sailors (in Brittany), of tinmen (in Paris), [2] and of plumbers. [3] In France, Trinitarian friars were known in France as “Mathurins”; this is because the Trinitarians were based in the church of Saint-Mathurin in Paris from 1228 onwards. [6] His relics were destroyed by the Huguenots. [3]
