Adèle Euphrasie Barbier was born in Normandy, France, on the 4th of January 1829, the child of Louis-Désiré Barbier, a shoemaker, and his wife, Jeanne Adèle Le Cler.
Euphrasie founded the Mission Sisters Christmas Day in 1861. They arrived in NZ 1864 and set up schools to help educate all people especially woman and children who were marginalised.
Euphrasie Barbier was confident, brave, inspiring and generous.
I can be like Euphrasie Barbier by inspiring my friends an dpeole around me to do the right thing.
