Mary Hermina of Jesus was a French nun and missionary belonging to the Franciscan Missionaries of Mary. Born Irma Grivot in 1866 in Beaune, she joined her religious order in 1894. In 1899, she led a small group of seven sisters to Taiyuan, China, to establish an orphanage and a hospital. During the Boxer Rebellion, she refused to abandon her religious habit to hide her identity, choosing instead to remain with her community. She was killed in 1900 during the Taiyuan massacre.
