St.  Magdalene's Story

She was born into the family of the Marquises of Canossa in Verona on 1st March 1774. Sensitive to the needs of the poor of her city and guided by a profound religious sense, she discovered, with great difficulty, after many experiences and trials, her charism in the Church: she would choose to live the Gospel radically for God alone not according to the monastic form, but through dedication and service of the poor.

On 8th May 1808 she left definitively the palace of Canossa family and started her work with a few companions, gathering together and educating young girls from St. Zeno district. Later, the Institute of the Daughters of Charity extended to other Italian cities: Venice, Milan, Bergamo, and Trent, while Magdalene widened her contacts with religious and civil authorities so as to obtain support for her own and other charitable initiatives.

With the help of a Venetian priest and two lay men of Bergamo, she started the Congregation of the Sons of Charity on 23rd May 1831. In her extensive apostolic activities, she involved numerous people, making them responsible together with her for promoting charity.

She died in Verona on 10th April 1835. She was proclaimed Blessed by Pope Pius XII on 8th December 1941 and canonised by Pope John Paul II on 2nd October 1988.
