(also known as Marie
Sainte-Cecile of Rome)
Born in Québec, Canada, 1897; died 1929; beatified by Pope John Paul II in
1993. When Dina joined the Sisters of Jesus-Marie in Rome (founded by
Saint Claudine Thevenet), she took the name Marie Sainte-Cecile of Rome to
honor the patron of musicians because she was herself an accomplished
pianist. During the course of her life as a sister, her devotion to the
Blessed Sacrament transformed her into a woman of infectious joy despite
illness. Her autobiography was published in Québec in 1984 (Catholic World
News, May 1, 1997).
