Charles was orphaned at the age of 6, raised by his devout grandfather, rejected the
Catholic faith as a teenager, and joined the French army. Inheriting a great deal of
money from his grandfather, He went to Algeria with his regiment, but not without
his mistress, Mimi. A French soldier and explorer who became a Trappist monk and
Catholic missionary to Muslims in Algeria. Known as Brother Charles of Jesus, he
was killed in 1916 at the age of 58.

2. Titus Brandsma: A dutch Priest, professor, rector, mystic, linguist, member of the
Carmelite order, martyr of the 20th century: Among the many titles that he carries
before his name, , and journalist who opposed Nazi propaganda in Catholic
newspapers. He was killed by lethal injection in Dachau in 1942.

3. Devasahayam Pillai: A layman from India who was tortured and martyred after
converting from Hinduism to Catholicism in the 18th century. According to
the Vatican news service, he was given that name that corresponded to the
Biblical name of ‘Lazarus’. His conversion, however, was considered “an act
of treason and a danger to the stability of the kingdom”. But he received the
sacraments regularly, and “ate with people of lower caste than himself and
of very humble status”. He was chosen for sainthood in 2013 when a woman
in her seventh month of pregnancy testified to a “miracle” after praying to
him. Her fetus, reportedly, stopped moving in the 24th week. The mother,
who was a Catholic and devoted to Lazarus, began to pray for his help.
Within an hour, she felt the baby kicking. Tests also showed a regular
heartbeat. The infant was eventually born without complications.

4. Marie Rivier: The founder of the Congregation of the Sisters of the Presentation. The
Frenchwoman founded the order in 1796, at the age of 28, during the Reign of Terror.
A Filipina child “miraculously” cured by a French nun was presented to the pope on
May 15 during the canonization of ten new saints at the Vatican in Rome. Angel
Marie Vier Albaracin was healed in a miracle attributed to this saint. Angel Marie, 6,
from Bohol province in the central Philippines had been diagnosed with hydrops
fetalis, a serious condition when an abnormal accumulation of fluid builds up
around the lungs and the heart. Angel Marie’s mother prayed to Saint Marie Rivier to
heal her, according to Vatican reports.

5. Maria Francesca of Jesus: A 19th-century missionary founder who crossed the


Atlantic Ocean seven times by boat to establish an order of Capuchin sisters in Uruguay,
Argentina, and Brazil. She was an Italian Roman Catholic nun. She was the founder
of the Capuchin Sisters of Mother Rubatto. Most of her work was done in Uruguay
where she died at the age of 59 in 1904. One morning after Mass at the Capuchin
church in Loano, Italy, she was startled by a cry from a nearby convent that was
under construction. A stone had fallen on the head of a young worker and, because
of her experience helping with the sick, She was able to clean the wound and tend
to the young man.

6. Maria Domenica Mantovani: The first general superior of the Institute of the Little
Sisters of the Holy Family, which she co-founded to serve the poor, orphaned, and the
sick in Italy in 1892. This praiseworthy daughter of the region of Verona, a disciple of
Bl. Giuseppe Nascimbeni, was inspired by the Holy Family of Nazareth to make herself
‘all things to all people’, ever attentive to the needs of the ‘poor people’. She was
extraordinarily faithful, in all circumstances and to her last breath, to the will of God, by
whom she felt loved and called. The first miracle happened in 1999 when newborn
baby Lara Pascal was accidentally let go by her tired and sleeping mother, and she fell
on the floor and cracked her skull. She suffered from severe cerebral hemorrhage, and
the doctors were doubtful about what to do. Sister Lisantonia Perin took a relic of her
foundress (a small piece of her habit) and prayed over the baby with her parents. Three
days later, Baby Lara fully recovered from her injuries, and four years later, she stood
in Rome to see the beatification of her patron saint. The second miracle happened over
a decade later in 2011 to Maria Candela Calabrese Salgado. Born with severe spinal
malformations, she grew up needing to be in a wheelchair. One morning, her legs
bruised and blackened due to a lack of blood circulation, and she was rushed to the
hospital. Maria Candela suffered cerebral hemorrhage, fell into a coma, and was almost
at risk of amputation. It was then that Rosana Margarita, the mother impacted by the
first miracle in 1999, came with a relic of the blessed who had saved her daughter Lara.
They took the relic and put it under Maria Candela’s pillow. Three days later, Maria
Candela was completely healed of her neurological condition.

7. Maria of Jesus Santocanale: The founder of the Capuchin Sisters of Immaculate Mary
of Lourdes in Sicily in 1910. She spent most of her free moments, day or night, in front
of the tabernacle. was born on October 2, 1852, in Palermo, Italy, to a comfortable life
of nobility. Though she had good reason to maintain this life of comfort, her young
heart was convicted by a deep love for God and serving others. Well into her late
teenage years, she discerned between joining a cloistered community or dedicating her
life to serving the poor and sick. One of the two miracles attributed to her happened in
September 2003. A new chapel was being constructed for the Capuchin Sisters where
her remains would later be moved. In the middle of construction, a young worker
accidentally fell from an alarming height of 11 metres, but despite this near-death
experience, the worker was left unscathed and was not severely injured. It seems she
“caught” the worker just in time.

8. César de Bus: A French Catholic priest who founded two religious congregations in the
16th century. He was a zealous preacher and catechist, who performed many works of
charity. He wrote five volumes on the Catechism, portions of which continue in use
today. His Instructions for the Family on the Four Parts of the Roman Catechism, was
published 60 years after his death. He died on Easter Sunday, 15 April 1607 in
Avignon, Vaucluse, France of natural causes and his remains are interred in the church
of Saint Mary in Monticelli in Rome, Italy. “He learned in this way to seek and love
sacrifice, for sacrifice configures one with Christ, Suffering and Victory. To offer
himself as a libation, to leave everything in God’s hand at the cost of the greatest
renunciations, this seemed to have been the leitmotif, the perpetual aim of his efforts.
And when, at the end of his life, suffering and afflicted with blindness for 14 years, he
was at last able to prepare for the supreme gift, he realized how useful asceticism has
been to master the old Adam. He was ready to meet the Lord. His joy was perfect.”

9. Luigi Maria Palazzolo: An Italian priest who is known for having established the
Sisters of the Poor, opened an orphanage, and worked for the poor. It is appropriate,
then, that the miracle needed for his canonization was granted to one of his own. Sr.
Gianmarisa Perani was brought to hospital in November 2015 in very serious
condition. She received an operation and was discharged to a nursing home with no
expectation that she would recover. Sr. Gianmarisa and those around her entrusted her
case to the care of their blessed founder. In January 2016, seeing that the sister was
now close to death, her doctor ordered her treatment to be stopped. However, a little
while later, when a nurse came to check on her, she suddenly woke from her comatose
state and quickly became healthy again.

10. Giustino Maria Russolillo: The founder of the religious congregations of the
Vocationist Fathers, the Vocationist Sisters and of the Secular Institute of the Apostles
of Universal Sanctification in Italy. The priest was devoted to educating young people
and cultivating their vocations. Pope Francis in 2020 confirmed a second miracle
attributed to him (the healing of the Vocationist religious brother Emile Rasolofo in
Madagascar).
