St. Rose Philippine Duchesne's Legacy

St. Rose Philippine Duchesne' Legacy was the Schools of the Sacred Heart being in America. (If it were not for her, this web site would not exist!)

She worked hard and endured many disappointments to finally get to teach the Potowatomi Indians. She was very old before she was able to achieve her dream&emdash;to teach the Indian children about God and his love.

She also left a great impression on the Potowatomi, and they nicknamed her 'the woman who always prays.' She taught them many things, and still teaches us today
