About Marie-Eugénie de Jésus
Marie-Eugénie de Jésus (born Anne-Eugénie Milleret de Brou; 25 August 1817 – 10 March 1898) was a French Catholic nun who founded the Religious of the Assumption and is a Catholic saint. Born in a country emerging from years of revolutions, war, and political turmoil, Marie-Eugénie saw a need for the radical transformation of society. To this end, she founded the Religious of the Assumption in 1839, a contemplative and apostolic congregation dedicated to transformative education. Her beatification was celebrated under Pope Paul VI in 1975 while her canonization was celebrated on 3 June 2007 under Pope Benedict XVI.
