Saint Peter Louis Marie Chanel, SM (†1841), was a Catholic priest, missionary, and martyr. Chanel was a member of the Society of Mary and was sent as a missionary to Oceania. He arrived on the island of Futuna in November 1837 and was clubbed to death in April 1841 at the instigation of a chief upset because his son converted. Chanel was declared a martyr and beatified on 17 November 1889. He was canonized on 12 June 1954 by Pope Pius XII and is recognized as the protomartyr and patron saint of Oceania. His feast day is 28 April, which is a public holiday in Wallis and Futuna. Peter is remembered in the Church of England with a commemoration on 28 April.
