My branch of the family spells our name COUDERT. Has anyone ever seen the Saint's name spelt this way? I'd love to be able to claim her as a relative.
The Congregation of our Lady of the Retreat in the Cenacle was founded in 1826 in La Louvesc, France, by Saint Thérèse Couderc (correct spelling of her name). Her feast day is September 26. The Cenacle Sisters have retreat houses in New Orleans, Houston, and Chicago, among other cities in the U.S. and Canada.
