Charlene Marie Richard (January 13, 1947 – August 11, 1959) was a twelve-year-old Roman Catholic Cajun girl from Richard, Louisiana, (30°25'18?N 92°18'46?W) in the United States.
She has become the focus of a popular belief that she is a saint—a person who is in heaven—who has performed a number of miracles.
The Roman Catholic Church has not given any official approval or begun any processes leading towards her canonization, but local Catholic
clergy and diocesan officials have permitted, promoted, and participated in the popular veneration of Richard.
