    Barbe
    Foucault

    Nicolas FOUCAULT 1626-1708
    Nicole MOUROT 1631-1706
    Barbe Foucault was strong and used to
    hard work.
    She came from poor family
    Barbe Foucault

    Formerly a domestic employee
    in a rich Farmhouse,
    transformed her shyness into
    tranquil daring, to become
    successively a hospital nurse,
    a Superior and in 1717, as the
    First Elected Superior general
    of the SPC Congregation.

    Marie Anne
    De Tilly

     Marie Anne was baptized in the Church of
    Allaines on March 8, 1665. She witnessed the
    death of four brothers and four sisters. She
    became responsible for the family and the home
    at the early age of thirteen when her mother,
    Anne de Fesnieres, “Lady of Allaines,” died on
    August 16, 1678 at the age of thirty-three. Her
    father, Louis de Tilly, “Lord of Villegat,”
    married Marguerite David of Abonville on
    November 11, 1681.

     Marie Anne, obliged to live in subjection to her
    stepmother, was taken up with incessant anxieties.
    These developed in virtues of gentleness, goodness
    and charity. She was obliged to struggle in the midst
    of all life’s difficulties. These strengthened her
    character and spirit of decision, taught her to
    overcome timidity and fear, to develop will power,
    and above all, to acquire the necessary authority in
    place of her father who continued to bear the painful
    events of his family.

    Co-founder of Fr. Louis Chauvet



    From being dutiful, silently suffering
    elder daughter of a landed, penniless
    country nobility to become the teacher-
    formator of the first recruits of Fr. Louis
    Chauvet.
    Fr. Chauvet guided her to brave the
    threats of her stepmother, to live in
    community with peasant girls and
    become the second superior.

    Prepare her young companions for their
    mission:
     To instuct the daughter of the farm laborers
     To teach the poor ignorant girls of the village
     To visit the poor and the sick in their hamlets
     To serve in the hospices in small
    communities of two or three sisters.

    She will always be remembered by
    her inspiring statement worthy of
    emulation:

    “ I have left the world, to give myself


    to God, for the good of the church and
    the service of neighbor.”

    Died September 28, 1703
