St. Mary Euphrasia Pelletier (†1868) was a French Roman Catholic nun, best known as the foundress of the Congregation of Our Lady of Charity of the Good Shepherd. The Sisters of Our Lady of Charity provided shelter, food, vocational training, and an opportunity for these girls and women to turn their lives around. Pelletier was beatified on April 30, 1933, and canonized by Pope Pius XII in 1940. Her feast day is 24 April.
