Charlene Richard
Charlene Marie Richard (13 January 1947 – 11 August 1959) was a twelve-year-old Roman Catholic Cajun girl residing in Richard, Louisiana, () in the United States at the time of her death. Richard has become the focus of a popular belief that she is a saint—a person who is in heaven—who has performed a number of miracles. The Roman Catholic Church has not given any official approval or begun any processes leading towards her canonization, but local Catholic
clergy and diocesan officials have permitted, promoted, and participated in the popular veneration of Richard.
==Life and final illness==
Richard was the second-oldest of ten children born to Joseph Elvin and Mary Alice Richard. Adults and children who knew her considered her to be smart but otherwise unremarkable. She was a devout Catholic but no more so than was customary in the local Cajun community.〔 Richard's mother said, "She liked sports and was always busy with something. She went to church and said her rosary, but she was just a normal little girl." In May 1959, after reading a book about Therese of Lisieux Richard asked her grandmother whether she, too, could become a saint by praying like Therese.〔
After reporting appearances of a tall woman in black who vanishes, and her teacher recommending that she was not herself, her mother took her to a physician. As a result, only two weeks before her death she was diagnosed with acute lymphatic leukemia and hospitalized at Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital in Lafayette, Louisiana.〔〔Hospital was then located at , but has since moved. 〕 At the request of her family, she was informed by the hospital chaplain, Joseph Brennan, a newly ordained Catholic priest, that she was going to die. Though the illness was painful, she remained cheerful, meekly accepted her fate, and offered up her suffering to God.〔 Brennan was deeply impressed by her faith and visited her daily.〔 While dying, Richard prayed for other individuals to be healed or to be converted to Catholicism.〔〔 The Director of Pediatrics at the hospital, Theresita Crowley, a nun, also witnessed her calm acceptance of suffering and prayers for others. Brennan and Crowley claimed that those for whom Richard prayed recovered from their illnesses or became Catholic.〔 Richard died on 11 August 1959.〔
