Her mission took her to Buenos Aires where thousands attended the retreats, ultimately leading her to establish the Holy House of Spiritual Exercises in 1796; today, the building is one of Argentina’s most notable historical monuments.
By the time she died in 1799, more than 100,000 are believed to have attended the spiritual exercises she led in Argentina and neighboring Uruguay.
