thank you for this interesting information. also, thanks to evelyn for fleshing out the original report. i had never heard of saint rose phillipine duchesne, who is really part of the american catholic story.
St. Rose Philippine is her name and does not denote her nationality. She was French and came under her religious obedience to the United States. She is entombed in the covnent Chapel of the Academy of the Sacred Heart in St. Charles, MO just west of the Missouri River bridge between St. Louis County and St. Charles County. I encourage you to visit her shrine and ask for a tour of her simple rooms and artifacts there.
Doing a report on her. What is she a patron saint of?
i found alot of information about st. rose WOW
I love St. Rose Philippine Duchesne because she is the woman who always praying and I will really appreciate her because of that.. even thou that she is not a Filipino..
I dont think she was a Philippino. She was born in France. But just because she was born in France doesnt mean that she isnt Philippino. So I could be wrong.
I love this saint. i am trying to become just like her. imagine that? a second Saint Rose.... WOW i am her number one fan and i think she lived an amazing life!!

Is she a phillipine?

St. Rose also joined a convent at the age of 19 without her parents consent.
