re: Charlene Richard - The Little Cajun Saint

I don't see how anyone from south Louisiana wouldn't know about her.

I would probably say in Acadiana specifically. People in southeastern Louisiana may not have heard of her nor people in western Cameron Parish and the like. Very well known in Lafayette, I knew about her at a very young age. Of course, it may have stuck with me because my baby sister is named Charlene though we have always called her Charlie (no pics, she is closing in on 60).

The two weeks it took for her to die after being diagnosed with leukemia she spent offering up her agonizing pain and suffering for others.

For decades people have reported miracles after praying for her intercession.

Charlene has been declared a Servant of God which is the first step toward canonization. Information sent to the Vatican by the Diocese of Lafayette was recently unsealed. Now the Vatican investigation will begin. If she is declared a saint it will still be a years-long process.

Thank you for linking the article. She lost her life at such a young age.
