Feastday: October 6
Patron of Naples (co-patron); Gallo World Family Foundation

Mystic and stigmatic, a Franciscan tertiary. She was born in Naples and became a Franciscan tertiary at the age of sixteen. Maria lived at home where she was abused until she became a priest's housekeeper in 1753. She had visions, bore the wounds of Christ's Passion, and was a known prophetess; among her predictions was the coming of the French Revolution. Maria was canonized in 1867 by Pope Pius IX.

She died in October 6, 1791 (NOT October 7), her feast day occurs, indeed, on 6 October, as correctely stated in the beginning and the end of description above.
Thank you.

that was really good! It helped me alot on finding my confirmation name. I really can't believe that after being abused she could be so successful
