Alphonse-Marie Eppinger was a 19th-century French Catholic nun who established the Sisters of the Divine Redeemer. Born Elisabeth Eppinger in 1814, she grew up in a poor farming family and experienced various health challenges. Following spiritual visions in 1846, she founded her religious order in 1849 with the support of her local priest. She served as the first superior general, leading the congregation as it expanded to care for the sick and impoverished during times such as the 1854 cholera pandemic.
