Feast Day of St. Maria Goretti

Today, July 6, marks the Feast Day of St. Maria Goretti, our patron saint. St. Maria Goretti was a young virgin and martyr whose life is an example faith, purity, and the power of forgiveness.

St. Maria Goretti is best known for her commitment to purity and the courageous defense of her faith at the young age of eleven that made her willing to undergo death rather than participate in a sin against God.

St. Maria Goretti, Pray for us!
