St. Mother Theodore Guerin
(Sisters of Providence)
1798-1856
A French nun of fragile health, Guerin was doubtful when her superiors asked her to sail to America to lead a small band of missionaries in rural Indiana. "It is astonishing that this remote solitude has been chosen for a novitiate and especially for an academy," she wrote in her journal. "All appearances are against it." Yet within a year she opened St. Mary's Academy for Young Ladies and went on to establish schools throughout Indiana and Illinois.
Canonized in 2006 by Pope Benedict XVI
Feast day: Oct. 3
