Saint Thérèse Couderc, born Marie-Victoire Couderc, was a French religious sister and cofounder of the Society of Our Lady of the Cenacle. Born in Sablières, she entered religious life and was sent to care for pilgrims at La Louvesc, a shrine associated with Saint John Francis Regis.
She helped establish a community devoted to prayer, retreats, and the spiritual renewal of the faithful. Although she endured misunderstanding and hidden trials, Thérèse remained peaceful and surrendered to Divine Providence. She died in Lyon on September 26, 1885, and was canonized by Pope Paul VI in 1970.
