About Maria Theresia Haze

Lived 1782 – 1876 (aged 93). Maria Theresia Haze was a Belgian monastery founder, nun and founder of Catholic religious community.

Jeanne Haze (27 February 1782 – 7 January 1876), also known by her religious name Marie-Thérèse of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, was a Belgian Roman Catholic professed religious and the foundress of the Daughters of the Cross. Haze decided to respond to the lack of education in her homeland in the chaos resulting from the French Revolution and made that the focus of her religious apostolate; she served as her order's Superior General from its founding until her death.

Her beatification cause opened in 1911 under Pope Pius X while Pope Pius XII later titled her as Venerable in 1941; Pope John Paul II beatified her in 1991. Her cause was formally opened on 13 December 1911, granting her the title of Servant of God. The Congregation for Rites validated the informative process on 26 June 1923 in Rome. An antepreparatory committee approved the cause on 1 July 1937 as did the preparatory one on 30 May 1939 and the general one on 10 December 1940.

Pope Pius XII titled Haze as Venerable on 9 February 1941 after confirming her heroic virtue. Pope John Paul II beatified her on 21 April 1991.
