], Daughters of Charity, (September 13, 1837 – May 31, 1915) was a Roman Catholic religious sister, best known for her involvement in the discovery of the House of the Virgin Mary in Ephesus, Turkey.

[2] In 1858 she became a sister when she joined the Daughters of Charity of St. Vincent De Paul in the parish of St. Sulpice, Paris.

After years of nursing in France, she was assigned to the Mission to Turkey in 1886, serving in the French Naval Hospital at Smyrna.

[citation needed] While in Smyrna (now İzmir), she became the central figure of an effort by Vincentian priests and archeologists to locate and identify a house (July 29, 1891) said to be originally occupied by Mary, the Mother of Jesus and St. John, the Beloved Disciple in the first century.

The noteworthiness of the Domus Mariae (Meryem Ana Evi) is located in the fact that it is a precious shrine for both Muslims and Christians alike.
