After her beloved husband was killed in a hunting accident, Jane Frances de Chantal sought peace and purpose as a Christian mother. She established stability for her children at her father-in-law's estate, despite how difficult he made things for her. In 1604, Jane Frances met St. Francis de Sales and cultivated a holy friendship in which he became her spiritual director.

She founded 86 monasteries in her lifetime.
