Blessed Jean-Bernard Rousseau, FSC (†1867) was a French Catholic member of the De La Salle Brothers. He assumed the religious name Scubilion upon his profession and was dubbed the "Catechist of Slaves" due to his extensive decades-spanning work on Réunion Island. In April 1833 he accepted an invitation to go to Réunion Island in the Indian Ocean to teach and evangelize. Between 1833 and 1843, he taught to poor children on the island. At this time became a vocal advocate of slaves and fought against the mistreatment and abuse that female slaves suffered. He was beatified in 1989 during the visit of Pope John Paul II to the island. He is considered a holy patron of Catechist teachers, and his Feast Day is commemorated on April 13.
