To mention a few facts about Miss Jeanne-Marie Bigard :

It is said that having suffered significant personal tragedy, she and her mother Stephanie both became reclusive; living practically as hermits after Jeanne’s father took his own life and her brother was accidentally burnt to death. However, such tragic events led the wealthy Jeanne to leave a lasting and radical legacy to train indigenous clergy. Later, she and her mother turned to good works and became interested in making Altar Linen and Vestments for Missionaries in Japan.
