Clara Fey (11 April 1815 – 8 May 1894) was a German Roman Catholic Nun and the founder of the Sisters of the Poor Child Jesus.[1] Her life was dedicated to providing aid to the poor, with particular emphasis on education, first in Aachen and later in the Netherlands.[2][3]
A decree introducing her cause for beatification was issued in 1958 by Pope Pius XII, at which time she became titled a Servant of God. In 1991, following confirmation of her heroic virtue by Pope John Paul II, she was titled Venerable.[1] Pope Francis confirmed a miraculous healing attributed to her intercession on 4 May 2017.[4] Her beatification was celebrated in Aachen on 5 May 2018.
