Pierre Chaignon, S.J. (1791–1883) was a French Jesuit priest and spiritual writer.[1]

Life

Pierre Chaignon was born in Saint-Pierre-la-Cour, Mayenne, France, on October 8, 1791.[1]

He was professed into the Society of Jesus on August 14, 1819 at the age of 27, and spent his life as a priest in the spiritual direction of other priests, giving an estimated three hundred retreats to French clergy over the course of thirty years.[1] He wrote a book of spiritual meditations for priests entitled Méditationes sacerdotales and established a Union of Prayer for Deceased Priests which was canonically erected into a confraternity in 1861.[1]

He died at Angers on September 20, 1883.[1]
