Life

Founder of the Institute of the Poor Sisters, Daughters of Mary of the Most Holy Crowned One. As a wife, she carried out her family vocation while trying to guide the young religious community from a distance. She faced opposition from her children and daughter-in-law, who did not agree that the family estate should be used for charitable works.

Translated from the Dicastery for the Causes of Saints.
