Saint Grandma

The story of Suzanne Aubert


The story of Suzanne Aubert. Suzanne was born in 1835 in a town near Lyon in France. When she was a very young woman her parents arranged her marriage, but Suzanne refused to be wed. Instead, she wanted to serve God. 

A simple retelling of the life story of Suzanne Aubert, the founder of the Sisters of Compassion. Aubert, known by children as 'Grandma', spent her life caring for the dispossessed, and working with Māori at the Hiruharama community along the Whanganui River.
