St. Charles’ Shrine of Rose St. Philippine Duchesne is a small chapel that bears witness to the life and work of Rose St. Philippine (1769-1852), a French nun and teacher declared a Saint by the Catholic Church in 1988. A member of the Religious Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, she established the first community of this order in the United States. In 1818 St. Philippine began a 35-year journey of bringing education and Catholicism to the Midwestern United States. Her St. Charles Academy of the Sacred Heart was the first educational institute of any kind in St. Charles County, and has since grown into the Network of Sacred Heart Schools in the United States and Canada.
