St Mary of the Incarnation: Mother-Mystic - Missionary


Marie of the Incarnation
On 3rd April Pope Francis declared a seventeenth century French Ursuline, Mary of the Incarnation Guyart, a saint.
Mary was canonised along with Bishop Francois de Montmorency-Laval, the first bishop of Quebec and the Jesuit Jose de Anchieta, one of the first missionaries to Brazil.
These three new saints are considered the founders of the Church in the New World.
