Patron of —

A quiet French Daughter of Charity who received the visions of Mary that gave the Church the Miraculous Medal, then spent the next forty-six years caring for the elderly in total obscurity.

She kept her famous visions secret all her life, known to no one as the seer; she spent those decades feeding the aged and tending the henhouse, recognized only after her death.
