About Maria Crocifissa Curcio

  • Blessed Maria Crocifissa Curcio (30 January 1877 – 4 July 1957), born Rosa Curcio, was an Italian Roman Catholic Carmelite nun.
  • She went on to establish her own Carmelite congregation known as the Carmelite Missionary Sisters of Saint Therese of the Child Jesus.
  • Curcio took the name of "Maria Crocifissa" upon her solemn profession in 1930. Her sole aim was "to bring souls to God" while attempting to emulate the example of Thérèse of Lisieux.
  • She aimed to help the poor while providing educational resources to those who required it, and she had elected Thérèse of Lisieux as her model in spreading evangelization and the Carmelite charism. Her beatification was held on 13 November 2005.
