"Pani ke Akua i ka puka a wehe i ka puka aniani," ʻōlelo ka poʻe i kekahi manawa ke hana lākou me kā lākou mea hōʻeha a i ʻole me haʻi. He ʻoiaʻiʻo nō kēia ma ka hihia o Marguerite. ʻO nā kamaliʻi mai nā kūlana ʻEulopa a me nā ʻōiwi ʻAmelika ma ke kenekulia XNUMX kenekulia i pōmaikaʻi i kona ʻiʻini nui a me ka hilinaʻi ʻole i ka mālama a ke Akua
Hānau ʻia ke ono o nā keiki 12 ma Troyes, Palani, ʻo Marguerite i ka makahiki 20 i manaʻoʻiʻo ua kāhea ʻia ʻo ia i ka hoʻomana haipule. ʻAʻole i kūleʻa kāna mau nīnau i ka Carmelite a me ka Poor Clares. Ua ʻōlelo kahi hoa aloha kahuna he manaʻo ʻē paha kā ke Akua nona.
I ka makahiki 1654, ua kipa aku ke kiaʻāina o ka noho Farani ma Kanada i kona kaikuahine, kahi kenekulia Augustinian ma Troyes. ʻO Marguerite no kahi hui e pili ana i kēlā ʻaha. Ua kono ke kiaʻāina iā ia e hele mai i Kanada a hoʻomaka i kahi kula ma Ville-Marie (a ʻo ke kūlanakauhale ʻo Montreal). I ka hōʻea ʻana mai, aia he 200 kānaka o ke kolone me kahi haukapila a me kahi hale pule mikionali Iesū.
Ma hope koke o ka hoʻomaka ʻana i kahi kula, ua ʻike ʻo ia i kāna pono no nā hoa hana. Ke hoʻi nei i Troyes, ua hōʻiliʻili ʻo ia i kahi hoaaloha, ʻo Catherine Crolo, a me ʻelua mau wahine ʻōpio ʻē aʻe. I 1667, ua hoʻohui lākou i nā papa i kā lākou kula no nā keiki India. ʻO ka huakaʻi ʻelua i Palani ʻekolu mau makahiki ma hope mai ua lawe ʻia he ʻeono mau wahine ʻōpio hou a me kahi leka mai King Louis XIV e ʻae ana i ke kula. Ua hoʻokumu ʻia ke anaina o Notre Dame ma 1676 akā ʻaʻole i hana nā lālā i ka ʻoihana haipule a hiki i ka 1698, ke ʻae ʻia kā lākou Rula a me nā kumukānāwai.
Ua hoʻokumu ʻo Marguerite i kula no nā kaikamahine ʻ Indiannia ma Montreal. I ka makahiki 69 ua hele ʻo ia mai Montreal a i Quebec i ka pane ʻana i ka noi a ka pīhopa e hoʻokumu i kahi kaiāulu o kona mau kaikuahine i kēlā kūlanakauhale. I kona wā i make ai, ua kāhea ʻia ʻo ia ʻo "Mother of the Colony". Ua kanona ʻia ʻo Marguerite ma 1982.
