Description

Stapled booklet, 16 pages, by Fr. Charles Mangan, pocket size.  A brief but moving account of the life, death, and aftermath of this young Italian girl who was brutally murdered in 1902 by an attempted rapist.  This young man was sent to prison and there had a vision of Maria who forgave him and changed his life.  He repented of his sins and died in peace as a gardener in a monastery.  Also included are a standard size laminated prayer card of the saint and a matching oval oxidized medal.  She is now the new patron saint of purity for youth.
