About Mary Theresa Ledóchowska

Mary Theresa Ledóchowska,; 29 April 1863 – 6 July 1922, was a Polish Catholic religious sister who founded the Missionary Sisters of St. Peter Claver, dedicated to spreading Catholicism in Africa. She was beatified in 1975. On 8 September 1897, the Feast of the Nativity of Mary (but also the anniversary of Claver's death), she and her first companions made their final vows as Missionary Sisters of St. The magazine soon became a full-time job, and Ledóchowska left her duties at the imperial court in 1891 so as to devote all of her time and energy to the missions.
