Saint Marcella of Marseille was a Christian widow known for her charity and care for the poor. After the death of her husband, she chose a life of prayer, continence, and service rather than returning to the comforts of wealth.
Marcella welcomed the needy and supported the Church through generous works of mercy. Her life reflects the dignity of Christian widowhood and the call to use every gift for love of God and neighbor.
