NAME THAT SAINT

St. Louise

Answer: St. Louise de Marillac. Louise desired to join a religious order, but was told that God had other plans for her. She married, gave birth to a son, and took a leadership role in the Ladies of Charity, an organization of women dedicated to helping those afflicted by poverty and illness. Following her husband’s death, she assisted Vincent de Paul with the Confraternities of Charity in the parishes of France. Later, she trained young women in service of the poor from which emerged the community of the Daughters of Charity. She died on March 15, 1660, and was canonized by Pope Pius XI on March 11, 1934.
