St. Jane

Saint Jane Frances de Chantal was a French noblewoman who lived in the 16th and 17th centuries. After the death of her husband, she turned to a life of prayer and service. Jane founded the Order of the Visitation of Holy Mary, a religious community for women seeking to live a devout life without the rigors of cloistered monasticism. She is remembered for her gentleness, charity, and spiritual wisdom. Saint Jane Frances de Chantal is venerated as a saint in the Catholic Church for her exemplary life of faith and service.
