Maria Tecla Antonia Relucenti

Life

Co-founder of the Congregation of the Pious Workers of the Immaculate Conception; her firm faith supported her in facing family hardships with determination and the many difficulties that arose in bringing about the founding of the Congregation. Moved by fervent love for God, whom she frequently adored in the Holy Eucharist, and by deep devotion to the Immaculate Virgin, she dedicated herself with a spirit of charity to the spiritual formation of her fellow sisters and to the Christian education of young women of the city.

Translated from the Dicastery for the Causes of Saints.
