In 1796, Anne Marie Rivier founded the Sisters of the Presentation of Mary in Thueyts, France. The congregation grew very quickly throughout Europe and the first sisters came to the United States in 1873 to Glens Falls, NY.<\/p>\n
In 1933, Sister Madeleine of Jesus, joined by four other sisters, founded Rivier College, which became Rivier University on July 1, 2012. Anne Marie Rivier was beatified in 1982, the first step toward canonization as a saint in the Catholic Church. She was canonized as Saint Marie Rivier by Pope Francis at Saint Peter\u2019s Basilica in Rome on May 15, 2022.<\/p>\n
The life and spirit of Saint Marie Rivier kindles the mission of the institution to transform hearts and minds to serve the world.<\/p>\n
