Mary Mazzarello was born a peasant in northern Italy, and at the age of 15, joined the Association of the Daughters of Mary Immaculate. Following an outbreak of typhus, she spent her recuperation as a seamstress, and remained weakened for life. Soon after, both she and St. Don Bosco had a similar vision of being entrusted with young girls, and together, they established the feminine branch of the Salesian religious family. A beloved Mother Superior, she championed education, talents and travel to the South American missions. She died of pleurisy at 44, and her body remains incorrupt.
