Dina Bélanger
Dina Bélanger (30 April 1897 – 4 September 1929), also known by her religious name Marie of Saint Cecilia of Rome, was a Canadian professed religious and a member of the Religieuses de Jésus-Marie. Bélanger was a noted musician and learnt the piano from her late childhood while teaching this later in her life. Successive bouts of poor health never hindered her spiritual or musical aspirations though weakened her due to contracting tuberculosis. Her autobiographical account—spanning from 1924 until just a couple of months prior to her death—details her spiritual encounters with Jesus Christ in a series of visions.
