Andre-Jean-Marie Hamon was to become a professor of dogma at the seminary of St. Sulpice in Paris in 1821, a seminary superior in 1843, and later, pastor of St. Sulpice in Paris in 1851. Fr. Hamon turned down the office of Bishop all three times it was offered to him, preferring instead to work with the poor and write spiritual works. He published a number of works anonymously or sometimes used the pseudonym J. Huen-Dubourg, borrowed from his mother's name, Lehuen-Dubourg. Fr. Hamon died in 1874.
