Saint Marguerite d'Youville was the first Canadian-born saint of the Roman Catholic church. She was born in 18th century Quebec, and grew up poor, and her husband died at a young age. She formed an order called the "Sisters of Charity of Montreal", also known as the grey nuns, which performed various charitable works. These grey nuns still exist today, and still carry out her legacy of compassion and charity all over the world.
