Biography
Félicité Pricet was a laywoman of Anjou at the time of the French Revolution. When the revolutionary government demanded conformity to its religious policies and persecuted those who remained loyal to the Catholic Church and its priests, the region of Angers became a center of both resistance and martyrdom during the War in the Vendée.
During the Reign of Terror in 1793–1794, many lay men and women of Anjou were arrested for their faith—for refusing the constitutional church, attending clandestine Masses, or sheltering faithful priests. Félicité Pricet was among those condemned. Like most of the lay martyrs of Angers, she was shot at Avrillé, on the outskirts of the city, at the site remembered as the Champ des Martyrs.
She was beatified on February 19, 1984, by Pope John Paul II as one of the ninety-nine Martyrs of Angers, whose collective feast is kept on February 1.
