Foundress and missionary, the daughter of a wealthy farmer in Jallanges, France. Anne entered several convents but left each time, wanting to devote her life to educating the poor. In 1800, she had a vision of black children and decided to adapt her vocation to their needs. In 1807, Anne and eight other young women were given the veil in Autun, France, and the Congregation of St. Joseph of Cluny was founded. Anne founded houses in Europe, South America, and Africa. In 1828, she went to French Guyana to educate six hundred slaves who were about to be liberated. Anne Javouhey also founded houses in Tahiti and Madagascar. She died in Paris on July 15, 1851.
