Anna Maria Marovich
Venetian writer who founded the Sisters Reparatrices of the Most Holy Heart of Jesus
Who they were
Born in Venice to a family from the Bay of Kotor, she was a poet and writer who in 1864, with her spiritual director Daniele Canal, began the Sisters Reparatrices of the Most Holy Heart of Jesus to help women leaving prison.
The miracles
No miracle has been approved. The decree on heroic virtues has been promulgated; a miracle would come next.
Why that counted as sanctity
Her informative process opened in Venice on 17 January 1926 and Benedict XVI authorised the decree on her heroic virtues on 17 December 2007.
The cause
The cause continues. No postulation address is published here yet. Favours received through this person’s intercession, and offers of help, are best sent to the religious order or congregation they belonged to, or to the diocese where the cause was opened; either will pass them to the postulation.
