	Julie Billiart - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Saint Julie Billiart (also Julia), foundress, and first Superior General of the Congregation of the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur, was born July 12, 1751, at Cuvilly, a village of Picardy, in the Diocese of Beauvais and the Department of Oise, France.
		In 1803, in obedience to Father Varin, superior of the Fathers of the Faith, and under the auspices of the Bishop of Amiens, the foundation was laid of the Institute of the Sisters of Notre Dame, a society which had for its primary object the salvation of poor children.
		She was original in doing away with the time-honored distinction between choir sisters and lay sisters, but this perfect equality of rank did not in any way prevent her from putting each sister to the work for which her capacity and education fitted her.
