mama antula

María Antonia de Paz y Figueroa (religious name María Antonia of Saint Joseph; 1730 – 6 March 1799) was an Argentine Catholic religious sister who established the Daughters of the Divine Savior. She later became known as Mama Antula.
She was – on the account of her model Christian life of heroic virtue – proclaimed to be venerable in 2010. One miracle required for her beatification received the approval of Pope Francis on 3 March 2016; it allowed for her beatification in Santiago del Estero on 27 August 2016. Cardinal Angelo Amato presided over the celebration. On 11 February 2024, Pope Francis will canonise her.
