Mother
Mary Nazarene Majone was born in Italy in 1869. At 16 she entered
the congregation that was newly founded by Fr. Hannibal. M. Di
Francia, with the special mission to answer the command of Jesus;
"Rogate-Pray the Lord of the Harvest..." She lived this with
remarkable humility in prayer and effective witnessing among the
poor, the orphans, the outcasts, the needy... She was a Mother,
Teacher, Friend and Servant of all. She died in 1939 at the age
of 70. Her life was marked with faithfulness to God, to the people
entrusted to her care, to the Congregation where she became the
"cornerstone"-the Co-foundress. The process of her beatification
started in 1989.
