Madeleine d'Houet

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Venerable Madeleine d'Houet, (born "Marie Madeleine de Bonnault d'Hoüet"), inspired by zeal for God and Ignatian spirituality founded the religious order of Sisters known as Faithful Companions of Jesus.

From the order's first foundation in Amiens, France it spread quickly across the globe. Twenty seven convents of the order were establised in d'Houet's lifetime with several more thereafter.

Saint Madeleine was a devoted missioner having completed more than five hundred journeys during her years of ministry.
