Who was Saint Rose Philippine Duchesne?

Rose Philippine Duchesne (1769–1852) joined the Society of the Sacred Heart in France and in 1818 sailed to the American frontier. In Saint Charles, Missouri, she opened the first free school west of the Mississippi. At 72 she went to the Potawatomi mission at Sugar Creek, Kansas, where the people called her "Woman-Who-Prays-Always". She was canonized in 1988.
