Biography
Blessed Anna Maria Teresa Scherer, also known as Ana María Catalina Scherer, Anna Maria Katharina Scherer, Maria Teresa Scherer, and Maria Theresia Scherer, was born on October 31, 1825, in Meggen, Luzern, Switzerland. She was the fourth of seven children, and unfortunately, her father passed away when she was only seven years old. As a result, her mother could only support herself and three of the children, so Katharina and her siblings were raised by extended family members.
