Marie Rivier

 The high school I went to, Presentation of Mary Academy, closed just before COVID.  It was known simply as Presentation or PMA.  I was in the third class to graduate from it, so it was a unique time to attend.  The sisters who taught there belonged to the Sisters of Presentation of Mary.  Tomorrow, Pope Francis will canonize their founder, Marie Rivier,  

Here is a picture of the habit the sisters wore.


She is being canonized in recognition of a miracle cure of a Filipino girl.  The sisters' charism is education and spreading the love of Jesus.  


Marie Rivier will be a good intercessor for these times.  She lived through the French Revolution and in her early life she suffered much.
