When Marguerite's mother died when she was nineteen, she had to take care of all of her siblings. In 1642, she sensed her first call to holiness. The love of God and neighbor summarizes her life.

I worked in a hospital to help the life expectancy to go up. I taught the poor and orphaned of Canada how to survive and about God's love and about life lessons. I started the Congregation of Notre Dame and convinced the bishop to not put me and my sisters in a cloister.
