Rose Philippine Duchesne, RCSJ (August 29, 1769 – November 18, 1852),[1] was a French religious sister and educator whom Pope John Paul II canonized in 1988.[2] A native of France, she immigrated as a missionary to America, and is recognized for her care and education of Indigenous American survivors of the United States Indian removal programs.[3][2]
Along with the founder, Madeleine-Sophie Barat, Duchesne was an early member of the Society of the Sacred Heart and established the congregation's first communities in the United States. She spent the last half of her life teaching and serving the people of the Midwestern United States, which was at that time considered the western frontier of the nation.
Duchesne was beatified on May 12, 1940, and canonized on July 3, 1988.
