Saint Jane Frances de Chantal (1572–1641) was a French noblewoman who, after the death of her husband, dedicated her life to God. She co-founded the Order of the Visitation of Holy Mary with Saint Francis de Sales, focusing on humility, charity, and a gentle devotion to God. Known for her deep spirituality and compassion, she helped many women grow in faith and holiness through prayer and community life. Saint Jane Frances is remembered as a model of patience and trust in God’s providence.
