Pierre Chaignon, S.J. (1791–1883) was a French Jesuit priest and spiritual writer.
Life
Pierre Chaignon was born in Saint-Pierre-la-Cour, Mayenne, France, on 8 October 1791.
He was professed into the Society of Jesus on 14 August 1819 at the age of 27, and spent his life as a priest in the spiritual direction of other priests, giving an estimated three hundred retreats to French clergy over the course of thirty years. He wrote a book of spiritual meditations for priests entitled Méditationes sacerdotales and established a Union of Prayer for Deceased Priests which was canonically erected into a confraternity in 1861.
He died at Angers on 20 September 1883.
