Saint Julie Billiart, born on July 12, 1751, in Cuvilly, France, was a resilient foundress who established the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur to educate poor girls amid the French Revolution’s chaos. From a pious peasant family, she taught catechism as a child, but a traumatic shooting at 22 left her paralyzed for 22 years. In 1804, miraculously healed during a novena led by Father Enfantin, she co-founded her order with Françoise Blin de Bourdon in Amiens, dedicating it to Mary and education. Facing persecution, she moved to Namur in 1809, tirelessly building schools until her death on April 8, 1816, at 64, leaving a global legacy of faith and learning.
