Mary Magdalen Bentivoglio, O.S.C.
(Italian: Maria Magdalena Bentivoglio, 29 July 1834 – 18 August 1905) was an Italian nun of the Order of St.
Clare of the Primitive Observance.
She was sent to the United States to found the first monastery of the order in the country and eventually established three monastic communities there before her death.
The cause for her possible canonization is now being studied by the Holy See, by which she has been granted the religious title of Servant of God.
