LE NOBLETZ, MARGUERITE. – Sister of Michel Le N., born at Kerodern in Plouguerneau (formerly the diocese of Léon) in 1583, died at Ploaré in 1633.
Persuaded by her brother to renounce the world, she lived in the most complete poverty, devoting herself entirely to the service and instruction of the poor, often accompanying Michel on his missions and preparing the faithful for the Sacraments. Settling at Ploaré, she intensified her apostolate and organized groups of Christian women to assist her in catechism instruction and the care of the poor. Her tomb at Ploaré is held in great veneration, and many miracles are attributed to her intercession.
