Having settled at Montluçon after the death of her aunt, who had raised her piously, she wished to establish there a work that would provide for sacred furnishings, especially for poor churches; gathering a few poor orphans in a house adjoining her own, she founded an orphanage, in whose church a day of adoration of the Blessed Sacrament was established for every Thursday of the year. As the orphanage grew, in order to give the work stability she founded, with the approval of the ecclesiastical authority, the Pious Union of the Oblates of the Sacred Heart, on 21 Dec. 1874; she was elected superior general on 17 May 1880. The new Institute spread through many dioceses of France; it received the decree of praise in 1881 and definitive approval in 1895. The cause of beatification was introduced by decree of 23 Dec. 1914.
