Adèle De Batz De Trenquelléon
Adèle de Batz de Trenquelléon, FMI, religious name ''Mary of the Conception'' (), (10 June 1789 – 10 January 1828), was a religious sister and the co-founder of the Marianist Sisters with William Joseph Chaminade. The religious institute in the Roman Catholic Church was founded to serve the poor. As a child, de Trenquelléon's desire had been to become a Carmelite, but this desire was never to materialize; she instead focused herself on serving the poor wherever and whenever she could. The congregation was founded with the intention of serving the poor and supporting the Sodalities of the Immaculate Conception that were started by William Joseph Chaminade and supported by Marie-Thérèse Charlotte de Lamourous as missionaries of Mary, thus combining certain aspects of the Carmelite charism with this impulse to balance the aspirations of the two co-founders.

Heroic virtue is the translation of a phrase coined by Augustine of Hippo to describe the virtue of early Christian martyrs. The phrase is used by the Roman Catholic Church. The Greek pagan term hero described a person with possibly superhuman abilities and great goodness. " connotes a degree of bravery, fame, and distinction which places a man high above his fellows". The term was later applied to other highly virtuous people who do extraordinary good works. In Catholicism Heroic virtue of a person is one of the requirements for his or her beatification.
