alodie-virginie paradis

alodie-virginie paradis -lrb- 12 may 1840 -- 3 may 1912 -rrb- was a canadian roman catholic nun who established the little sisters of the holy family congregation in 1880 .
it was dedicated to the domestic needs in the field of education across canada while members embarked on the process of sanctifying themselves by private vows .
she took the name of `` marie-léonie '' after she became a nun .
pope john paul ii beatified her when he visited canada in 1984 and she has been granted the title of blessed .
one final miracle is required for her to be canonized ; one such miracle is now under investigation .
