MALLINCKRODT, PAULINE von. - Foundress of the Sisters of Christian Charity, b. at Minden (Westphalia) on June 3, 1817, d. at Paderborn on April 30, 1881.

As directress at Paderborn of an infant school and of an institute for blind children, having been unable to entrust the latter to the Society of the Sacred Heart of St. Madeleine Sophie Barat, because the Prussian government did not admit foreign congregations, she herself founded a new congregation which, besides caring for the little blind children, would also devote itself to the education of young girls. M. immediately became its first superior. The Kulturkampf forced her religious to go into exile; thus new houses could be opened in the United States, which she later visited, animating them with her spirit. The decree of praise of April 13, 1859 added to the title of the Congregation that of "Daughters of the Blessed Virgin Mary of the Immaculate Conception"; and the Institute soon enjoyed a wide diffusion. The processes for the beatification of M. were introduced in 1933.
