Saint Maria Goretti

Also known as: The Little Saint of Purity, The Martyr of Purity.
Feast Day: July 6.
Patronage: Victims of crime; Purity of soul; Forgiveness; Youth and young women.
Biographical: Born October 16, 1890, in Corinaldo, Italy. Maria lived a life of deep faith and hard work in a poor farming family. At age 11, she was mortally wounded while defending her purity. In her final hours, she made the heroic choice to forgive her attacker, Alessandro Serenelli, expressing her desire to see him in Heaven. Her extraordinary act of mercy led to Alessandro’s eventual repentance and conversion. She was canonized on June 24, 1950, by Pope Pius XII in a ceremony attended by her own mother and her forgiven attacker.

The Light of Forgiveness and Protector of the Innocent

St. Maria Goretti is a tender yet powerful intercessor for those who have suffered from the actions of others. As a survivor and a martyr, she is the primary advocate for victims of crime, offering spiritual healing and the strength to walk the path of recovery. She is a dedicated guardian of the youth, invoked to preserve the purity of soul in an increasingly complex world. Traditionally sought for the grace of forgiveness, she helps mend the deepest wounds of the heart, replacing resentment with the peace of Christ.
