Biography
Saint Marie Adolphine Dierks, one of six kids in an extremely poor family. Her mom kicked the bucket when Anne was still very youthful, and the kids were raised by similarly poor neighbors. Anne was known as a studious and determined kid. She worked in an industrial facility, and after that as a household worker. She inevitably joined the Franciscan Missionaries of Mary, filled in as an evangelist to China, and kicked the bucket in the crackdown on outside ministers during the Boxer Rebellion. One of the Martyrs of Shanxi and the Martyrs of China.
