According to legend, Adele of Normandy (1100-1137 AD) was a noblewoman who was known for her exceptional beauty and piety. She was the daughter of Count Robert I of Normandy and was named after her mother, Adela of Normandy, who was also known for her beauty and piety. Adele is best remembered for her foundation of the Abbey of Sainte-Croix de Gercy, where she served as abbess until her death. Her relics are still venerated there today.
11th-12th century AD
Adele Bruneau (1743-1826 AD) was a French nun and foundress of the Congregation of the Sisters of St. Joseph of the Apparition. She was born in Marans, Charente-Maritime, France, and was known for her profound faith and spiritual gifts. She received a vision of the Virgin Mary, who asked her to found a religious community dedicated to the education of girls. Adele obeyed the call and, with the help of five companions, established the first house of the Sisters of St. Joseph of the Apparition in Le Puy, France, in 1815.
