Who they were

At Angers in France, Blessed Marie de La Dive, martyr, who, having been widowed, was guillotined during the French Revolution for her fidelity to the Church.

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 26 January as a widow guillotined at Angers during the French Revolution for fidelity to the Church.

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.

A miracle approved by the Holy See is needed for the next step. If you know the postulation’s own page, tell us and it will be added here.
