Armida Barelli (1 December 1882 - 15 August 1952) was an Italian Roman Catholic who served in the educational field during her life and was also a professed member of the Secular Franciscan Order.
Barelli was also the co-founder of the Secular Institute of the Missionaries of the Kingship of Christ.
Alongside Father Agostino Gemelli the pair sought to spread the message of the Gospel through their educational facilities and through their congregation that sought also to spread the Franciscan charism.Barelli's cause for sainthood commenced in 1960 when she was accorded the posthumous title Servant of God and advanced on 1 June 2007 when Pope Benedict XVI declared her to be Venerable on the account of her heroic virtue.
One miracle is required for her beatification and one such case is at present under investigation.
