.She lived a holy life, caring for the sick, the orphaned, the aged, the forgotten.
First new orleans saint woman
.Henriette Delille’s canonization process was initiated in April 1988 by Archbishop Philip Hannan of New Orleans. It was reviewed by a special commission in Rome which gave permission to officially open the process in June 1988. On Saturday, March 27, 2010, Pope Benedict XVI signed a decree advancing the cause of sainthood of Henriette Delille, declaring this this exemplary woman lived a life of “heroic virtue” and declared her Venerable.
