About Carolina Santocanale
- Blessed Carolina Santocanale (2 October 1852 - 27 January 1923) was an Italian Roman Catholic nun who assumed the name of "Maria of Jesus" and established the Capuchin Sisters of the Immaculata of Lourdes.
- Santocanale became well known for her treatment of the ill and the poor to whom she devoted her life and work to and was also a member of the Secular Franciscan Order. The recognition of her life of heroic virtue in 2000 allowed for Pope John Paul II to declare Santocanale to be Venerable while a miracle attributed to her intercession allowed for her beatification in Monreale on 12 June 2016; Cardinal Angelo Amato presided on the behalf of Pope Francis.
