Paris, was consecrated at the age OF
seven to the service of religion by St.
Germanus, bishop of AuXerre, who
CHANGED to pass through the village Of
Nanterre, where she lived, about four
miles from Paris. She acquired a
great reputation for sanctity. The
church of St. Genevieve. completed in
1864, was named in her honor. Dur
ing the revolutionary period it was
withdrawn from the service of relig-
ion and called the Pantheon, but was
afterward restored in name and to
ecclesiastical uses.
