Saint Marie-Hermine of Jesus (1866–1900, born Irma Grivot) was a French nun and Mother Superior who died during the Boxer Rebellion in China and was canonised in 2000.

She and six other nuns had gone to China to create a small hospital and to staff an orphanage, but were ultimately killed due to their association with foreign interference.

She went on to her novitiate at Le Châtelet and this took some time as she was frequently ill.[1] In 1899 she was the Mother Superior of a group of seven sisters from the order who left Marseilles on 12 May 1899.

[5] Marie de la Paix Giuliani who was Italian and who was the youngest of the nuns became Mother Superior Marie-Hermine of Jesus's assistant.

Four days later the priests, nuns, seminarians, and Christian lay workers were all murdered as part of what was called the Taiyuan massacre.
