About Adèle de Batz de Trenquelléon
- Blessed Adèle de Batz de Trenquelléon (10 June 1789 – 10 January 1828) – or "Marie of the Conception," her religious name– was a French Roman Catholic professed religious and the co-founder of the Marianist Sisters which she founded alongside Blessed William Joseph Chaminade.
- As a child, her desire had been to become a Carmelite nun, though this desire never materialized; she instead focused herself on serving the poor wherever and whenever she could.
- Her order was founded with the intention of serving the poor and supporting the Sodalities of the Immaculate Conception that were started by Father Chaminade and supported by Venerable Marie-Thérèse Charlotte de Lamourous as missionaries of Mary thus combining certain aspects of the Carmelite charism with this impulse to balance the aspirations of the two co-founders.Her cause for beatification opened in the mid-1960s.
- On June 5, 1986, Pope John Paul II confirmed her heroic virtue and titled her as Venerable; Pope Francis approved her beatification in May 2017 (confirming a miracle attributed to her) and she was beatified in Agen on June 10, 2018, the anniversary of her birth.
