Pauline Marie Jaricot (22 July 1799[1] – 9 January 1862) was a French member of the Third Order of Saint Dominic.

She established a union of prayer among pious servant girls, the members of which were known as the "Réparatrices du Sacré-Coeur de Jésus-Christ".

This eventually led to the founding in 1822 of the Society for the Propagation of the Faith, dedicated to supporting missionary efforts worldwide.

Around 1845 Jaricot purchased a blast furnace plant which she intended to be run as a model of Christian social reform.

[10] In a homily on 9 January 2013, at the end of the celebrations commemorating the 150th anniversary of her death, Cardinal Fernando Filoni, prefect of the Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples, said that her "heroic virtues do not consist in a series of miraculous events, but in that fruitful fidelity to Christ, to whom she devoted herself both in good times and in … difficult … moments"[10] On 26 May 2020, Pope Francis authorized the Congregation for the Causes of Saints to promulgate a decree recognizing a miracle attributed to Jaricot's intercession, the final requirement for beatification.

[11] Her beatification was celebrated with solemnity on 22 May 2022 in the Eurexpo stadium, Lyon, with Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle presiding on the Pope's behalf.

She expanded the organization's work to include the distribution of prayer leaflets, holy pictures, medals and rosaries.

The organization maintains an internet website at philomena.org, authored by Patti Dickinson, who is universal director of the Living Rosary.

A Facebook page, Universal Living Rosary Association, is authored by apostolate promoter Brian J. Costello of New Roads, Louisiana.
