*Pierre Monnereau* is a biographical study of Pierre Monnereau (1787–1856), a Catholic priest from the Vendée whose life was closely tied to the religious renewal of nineteenth-century France. Bernard Pitaud examines Monnereau’s vocation, ministry, and influence within the Catholic Church, with particular attention to his role in founding and shaping the Congregation of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary. The book places his work in the context of post-revolutionary French Catholicism, local religious communities, and the development of clergy and religious orders in western France. It will be of interest to readers of church history, priestly biography, and the history of religious congregations.
