Émilie d'Oultremont
Belgian Catholic nun (1818-1878)
Feast: 22 February (not on the universal Roman calendar; kept in the Roman Martyrology or local calendars)
Who they were
At Florence, Blessed Mary of Jesus (Émilie) d'Oultremont, who in Belgium, a mother of four children, left a widow, without in any way neglecting her duties as a mother, devoted herself to founding and guiding the Congregation of the Sisters of Mary Reparatrix and, trusting in God's help and overcoming many difficulties, piously ended her earthly pilgrimage while returning to her homeland.
The miracles
The Roman Martyrology does not describe the miracles approved in the cause.
Why that counted as sanctity
The Roman Martyrology remembers her on 22 February as a widowed mother of four who founded the Sisters of Mary Reparatrix.
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.
