Hello everyone, hope someone may be able to help. Recently, I heard the story of a Catholic layman who supposedly was martyred by Protestants while attempting to protect the Most Blessed Sacrament during a Eucharistic Procession. Apparently, this happened in the 1700s or 1800s, possibly in Boston, MA, and the layman may have been of French descent. I have attempted to locate more information on this event and the identity of the layman, but have been unsuccessful. Any information/clarification regarding this or the identity of the layman would be most appreciated. God bless you!

Many thanks and may God bless you, Anthony Benedict!  Anyone else have any information on this or the identity of the layman? I have heard he had the title, "Knight of Saint Sauveur," but have been unable to discover his name, any further info, etc. What a fine example of true devotion and zeal this courageous layman provided. Hopefully, someone will be able to provide further details. Any help is most appreciated!
