caption_attribution_description: Français&#160;: Victoire de Saint-Luc et l’image du Sacré-Cœur, dans l’église Saint-Mathieu de Quimper (transept nord, vitrail intitulé Apparition du Sacré-Cœur, Atelier Champigneulle, Paris, 1896)
context_page_description: Victoire Conen de Saint-Luc was a French noble and nun. She was executed during The Terror, sentenced for allegedly supporting the War in the Vendée. She was regarded a religious martyr and declared a Servant of God. The process of Beatification was instigated in her favor in 1919, though never completed.
context_section_description: The beatification cause of Victoire Conen de Saint Luc was joined in 1919 to that of the Martyrs of the Revolutionary Tribunal of Paris.  Reviews by the Archdiocese of Paris took place in 1920 and 1921 and in 1925 documents were sent to the Sacred Congregation of Rites (now Congregation for the Causes of Saints).  However, the death of the postulator then caused the interruption of the cause. 
  Victoire Conen de Saint-Luc was considered a martyr executed for religious reasons by counter revolutionaries, and the new retreat, which was re-founded after the revolution, was dedicated to her. She was depicted in several churches in Brittany, and in 1923 a school, the "Victoire Conen de Saint-Luc", was named after her. 
  A portrait of Victoire Conen de Saint-Luc, and another of hre uncle Bishop Toussaint Conen of Saint-Luc, the last bishop of Cornouaille, who died in 1790, are in the church of Saint-Jacques de Pouldavid in Douarnenez.
   
  Victoire Conen de Saint-Luc is represented on a stained glass window in four churches and chapels of the diocese of Quimper: 
  In the Church of Pluguffan , in the stained glass window of the Sacred Heart ( 1892 ), Victoire is shown as a nun, kneeling (at her feet she sees a guillotine chopper), holding in her hand an image of the Sacred Heart, the Bl. Marguerite-Marie Alacoque (1647-1690), an inspiration for the cult of the Sacred Heart, standing behind her.  Bishop Toussaint Conen of Saint-Luc is also kneeling, with Saint John the Evangelist standing behind him.
  In the north transept of the Saint-Mathieu church in Quimper , Victoire de Saint-Luc also appears in the large stained glass window entitled "Apparition of the Sacred Heart" (Ateliers Champigneulle, Paris, 1896 ), in the company of many saints, among whom we recognize St. John Eudes , Margaret-Marie Alacoque, St. John the Evangelist, St. Francis of Assisi , and presumably Saint Longin .
  In the old chapel of the Grand Seminary of Quimper, on the Epistle side  4, in the stained glass window ( 1896 ) which is above the altar of the Sacred Heart, we can see Victoire kneeling and holding an image of the Sacred Heart in front of Blessed Françoise d'Amboise (Duchess of Brittany from 1450 to 1457 then Carmelite), while her uncle Bishop Toussaint Conen of Saint-Luc knelt before Saint Vincent Ferrier, famous Dominican preacher who died in Vannes in 1419 .
  In the parish church of Saint-Tudec-et-Sainte-Anne in Landudec , she is also represented on the stained glass window of the Sacré-Coeur (J.-P. Florence Studio, 1905 ), located on the Sainte-Anne altar.  In the center of the stained glass window is the Sacred Heart;  on the right side, Victoire kneeling, showing the image of the Sacred Heart, painted and embroidered by her standing;  Behind her stands  Marguerite-Marie Alacoque.  Also on the left Bishop Toussaint Conen of Saint Luc, the uncle of Victoire and last bishop of Cornouaille, and behind him the Jesuit father Claude La Colombière , apostle of the devotion of the Sacred Heart.
  In 1923 , a private primary school of girls "Victoire Conen de Saint-Luc", with internship, was built in Landudec.
