    The patron saint of the marginalized, Saint Benoît-Joseph Labre, was born in 1748 in the picturesque village of Amettes. He is better known as the “wanderer of God”. As a French beggar pilgrim, he traveled the roads of Europe, from shrine to shrine until his last stop: Rome. He was canonized in 1881.
    The birthplace of Saint Benoît-Joseph, a small chalet, has become an important place of pilgrimage in Artois, dedicated to his memory and collecting objects that belonged to him.

    One man not so well known to us. Worth reading his life and what he means to many.
