Marie Roger

Who they were

At Avrillé near Angers in France, the blessed martyrs Pierre Delépine, Jean Ménard and twenty-four companions, who, almost all of them country people, were shot during the French Revolution out of hatred for the Christian faith.

Their names are: Blesseds Renée Bourgeais, Jeanne Gourdon, Marie Gingueneau, Françoise Michoneau, Jeanne Onillon, Renée Séchet, Marie Roger, Françoise Suhard and Jeanne Thomas, widows; Madeleine Cady, Marie Piou, Perrine Renée Pottier, Renée Rigault, Jeanne Marie Leduc and Madeleine Sallé, wives; Marie Geneviève and Marthe Poulain de la Forestrie, Perrine Bourigault, Marie Forestier, Marie Lardeux, Perrine Laurent, Anne Maugrain, Marguerite Robin and Marie Rochard.

Among those named is Blessed Marie Roger, a widow.

The miracles

As a martyr she was raised to the altars without a miracle.

Why that counted as sanctity

The Roman Martyrology remembers her on 16 April as a widow among the country people shot at Avrillé near Angers during the French Revolution out of hatred for the Christian faith.
