Among the non-juror priests, who refused to take the schismatic oath to the Civil Constitution of the Clergy, Blessed Noël Pinot’s figure rises as one of the most heroic.
Faithful to his ministry and to his parish, he gave his life for his sheep, following the steps of the Good Shepherd.
For the crime of remaining faithful to the Pope and preaching the true religion, he was guillotined in his priestly vestments, on February 21, 1794.
