She wanted to do God’s Will in everything from a young age. As a child, she had many moments of divine intervention. A few years later, the Hospitallers of Québec needed reinforcements so she and her sister volunteered. Catherine became a nun before she turned 16 and they travelled to Québec, where they worked at the Hôtel-Dieu in Québec City. She died of tuberculosis in 1668 after 20 years as a missionary.
