Saint Mary Emily de Rodat, founder (†1852). In Villefranche, France, she founded the Congregation of the Holy Family for the formation of young people. She was greatly devoted to Holy Mass and the Way of the Cross. She fought the Jansenist spirit that, with an air of humility, advocated infrequent reception of the sacraments.
