About Saint Geneviève

Geneviève, born near Paris around 422, became a consecrated virgin known for prayer, fasting, and care for the poor. Tradition credits her courage with steadying Parisians during the threat of Attila, and records her organizing grain supplies during a later siege. Paris has honored her as its patroness for centuries.
