Foundress of the Daughters of Our Lady of Mercy. She was born at Albisola Marina, Liguria, Italy, in 1811, and was baptized Benedetta. At sixteen she became a Franciscan tertiary, and in 1837, she and three companions, Pauline Barla, Angela, and Domenica Pessio, found a community in Savona. The congregation was devoted to charitable works, hospitals, and educating poor young women. In 1840, Maria Giuseppe, also called Josepha, was made superior. By the time she died on December 7, 1888, she had made sixty-eight foundations. She was canonized in 1949.

St Maria Giuseppe Rossello, pray for all vulnerable girls who are without education or a means to earning a livelihood. Open our eyes to see their needs, as you did. Pray for us, dear saint. Amen

I love hearing about the Saints and Saint Rossello was truly a Blessed addtion to the world with all she founded and all her charitable works and those of the Sisters who assisted her, but I would like to hear more about her and her life and why she became a nun and how she became a Saint. More information about each Saint as there is so much unused room under the just one paragraph and I am sure God would appreciate her adoration and adhering to His Will to be shown in more depth. Thank you all and God bless all on this site and those who read daily!

St. M. G. Rossello, your devotion to poor young girls must be invaluable because of lack of social security when she drews her breath. Modern Japan gives boys and girls the opportunity of education. But he or she does not feel lucky. I can't imagine Italy of the day but the poor young girls must not have opportunity of education. St.M.G. Rossello, you are great contributor for the poor, everlasting. Amen.

St. Maria G.R. is the saint I chose at confirmation because of her desire to help others through charitable works. It is a value I have tried to keep with me over the years
