Minute of Mercy
Mother Henriette Delille (1813 – 1862)
She was born into a life of privilege and “person of color” to Marie Josef Dias and Jean Baptiste Delille-Sarpy who never mar- ried. What they did have, that was common in those days, was a plaçage between wealthy white Creole men and free women of color. Henriette was considered a quadroon, meaning she was ¼ black. During the 1830 census, she chose not to register as white although she and all her family members were so light they could pass for Caucasian.
Henriette was a devout Catholic and in 1836 began preaching to slaves and non-whites and devoted herself solely to the service of God against her mother’s wishes.
In 1842, she established a home for elderly nonwhites and their education in religion.
In 1852, she founded the Sisters of the Holy Family and spent time in a white convent and also took her official vows of poverty, chastity and obedience to God.
In 1989, 127 years after her death, the Sisters of the Holy Family officially opened Henriette’s cause for canonization with the Catholic Church. In hopes of success, Henriette would be the first American born black saint.
Mother is now considered Venerable Henriette Delille. Mother’s prayer was “I believe in God. I hope in God. I love. I want to live and die for God.” May we make Mother’s prayer our own.
Mother Henriette Delille, pray for us!
Mercy in Action

Come Join Us and Stroll Through the Quaint Streets of:
The Village of Adare
The Geraldines of Kildare developed Adare in mediaeval times and the present village was largely an early 19th century creation by the Dunravens. The building of the Gothic style Adare manor began in 1831.
Adare village is an architectural wealth of scenic beauty. The main street is punctuated with beautiful stone buildings, medieval monasteries, ruins and a picturesque village park.
The streets are lined with the original thatched cottages which were built in the 1820’s by Lord Dunraven. Some of these cottages have changed use and are now restaurants, fashion boutiques and arts and crafts shops.
Located in the heart of County Limerick just 15 minutes south of Limerick City, the Village of Adare is the gateway to the southwest of Ireland, bordering the counties of Kerry, Cork, Clare and Tipperary.
