Élisabeth Bacq (Thérèse of Jesus)
French convert from Lutheranism who founded a religious congregation at Nancy
Who they were
Born in Paris in 1825 and baptised a Catholic at fourteen, she founded a community at Nancy that became the Sisters of the Assumption of Our Lady, and died in Paris in 1896.
The miracles
No miracle has been approved. The cause is at its first stage.
Why that counted as sanctity
The nihil obstat for her cause was given on 7 January 1993 and she is listed as a Servant of God.
The cause
The cause continues. No postulation address is published here yet. Favours received through this person’s intercession, and offers of help, are best sent to the religious order or congregation they belonged to, or to the diocese where the cause was opened; either will pass them to the postulation.
