First of all, I didn't respond because, as you will have seen from another posting, we inadvertently lost a number of comments - yours among them.
A Doctor of the Church, which St. Francis de Sales is, is someone who has taught the faith in a unique and insightful way. All people can deepen their faith by reading him or her. Read SFdS's "Introduction to the Devout Life," and you'll see what I mean.
In the 2000+ years of the Church, there have only been 33 doctors (3 of them, women).
The Order of the Visitation of Holy Mary was founded in 1610 by Saint Francis de Sales and Saint Jane de Chantal. Our Monastery of Georgetown was established by Archbishop Leonard Neale in 1799.

I'm surprised that you have never given me an answer yet.
