August 25, 2015 Dear Parents, In March, Pope Francis proclaimed a Holy Year of Mercy beginning this December 8, 2015, and continuing to November 20, 2016. To mark the solemn occasion of this Jubilee Year, the Vatican, in conjunction with the Congregation of the Causes of Saints has announced the extraordinary pilgrimage of the bodily remains of Saint Maria Goretti. The glass and gold reliquary containing her body will leave her shrine in Nettuno, Italy, and begin the Pilgrimage of Mercy Tour in the United States of America this September. This is the first time that Saint Maria Goretti's body will travel to the United States and only the second time that she has left Italy. Saint Maria’s relics will travel to the parishes of Our Lady of Grace in Greensboro, and Saint Thomas Aquinas in Charlotte so that our Catholic community from all over the Diocese of Charlotte may venerate her. It is a spiritual gift to have the opportunity to be able to teach our young Catholics about the virtues she exemplifies, most especially: Forgiveness & Mercy and Purity & Chastity, and to receive the blessings that come with the Saint’s visit to the Diocese of Charlotte.

Her parents were very poor farmers, but had great love for God, Our Lady and each other. The family lived in eastern Italy. b. Her parents along with Maria, her 2 sisters and 3 brothers moved to Ferriere, Italy, with the hope of improving their financial condition. Maria’s father, a hardworking, humble man, struck a deal with Signor Serenelli to be a tenant farmer, to work together and live in the same building with him and his son. c. At the age of 9, Maria’s father died of malaria. While her mother, brothers and one sister worked in the farm fields, Maria took care of the household chores and cared for her youngest sister, with dedication and cheerfulness. d. Although Maria and her brothers and sisters remained illiterate, they were well-schooled in their faith. Maria had a deep understanding of who she was as a child of God, with a keen sense of her personal dignity and self-worth. This understanding would prepare her to choose to preserve her innocence from which she derived a joyful and peaceful life with her family. Maria grew in prayer as she prepared to receive Jesus in First Communion. e. Signor Serenelli’s son, Alessandro, harassed Maria to perform difficult chores and to satisfy his impure thoughts. Although Maria refused to submit to Alessandro, he persisted. Although she should have told her family about Alessandro’s threat, Maria kept silent, realizing that exposing Alessandro would bring worry and grief to her mother and total financial ruin to the family. One day as Maria was sewing and watching her younger sister, Alessandro dragged her into the house and attempted to force her into sinful acts against chastity. Maria fought with all her strength to resist Alessandro and with great courage she warned him that this sin would condemn him to hell. Alessandro stabbed Maria 14 times and left her to die. f. Maria was treated in the local hospital but died 20 hours after Alessandro’s attack. She was 11 years old. Before she died, Maria forgave Alessandro with all her heart and stated that she hoped that he would join her in Heaven. g. While in prison, Maria appeared to Alessandro in a dream. She held out to him fourteen white lilies representing the fourteen times that he stabbed her, causing him to change from desperation to repentance and conversion.

  • Saint Maria Goretti
    Saint Maria Goretti Painting: “Saint Maria Goretti” Located in the Shrine Church Artist: Noah Buchanan [Permission granted to post article by Father Jacques Marie © Clairval Abbey] This past July 6th [year 2002] was the centenary of the passing away of Maria Goretti, whom Pope Pius XII at her canonization on June 26, 1950, called «the Agnes of the twentieth century.» God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong; God chose what is low and despised in the world, even things that are not, to bring to nothing things that are, so that no human being might boast in the presence of God (1 Cor 1: 27-29). During a pilgrimage to the place of the martyrdom of the young saint, on September 29, 1991, Pope John Paul II remarked: «God chose, He glorified a simple young girl from the country, of modest origins. He glorified her with the power of His Spirit… Dearest brothers and sisters! Consider Maria Goretti… She has become a joy for the Church and a source of hope for us.» Maria was born on October 16, 1890, in Corinaldo, in the Ancone province of Italy, into a family poor in earthly goods, but rich in faith and virtues. Every day they had common prayer and the Rosary; on Sundays, Mass and Holy Communion. Maria was the third of seven children of Luigi Goretti and Assunta Carlini. On the day after her birth, she was baptized and consecrated to the Virgin Mary. She received the sacrament of Confirmation at the age of six.

August 25, 2015 Dear Parents, In March, Pope Francis proclaimed a Holy Year of Mercy beginning this December 8, 2015, and continuing to November 20, 2016. To mark the solemn occasion of this Jubilee Year, the Vatican, in conjunction with the Congregation of the Causes of Saints has announced the extraordinary pilgrimage of the bodily remains of Saint Maria Goretti. The glass and gold reliquary containing her body will leave her shrine in Nettuno, Italy, and begin the Pilgrimage of Mercy Tour in the United States of America this September. This is the first time that Saint Maria Goretti's body will travel to the United States and only the second time that she has left Italy. Saint Maria’s relics will travel to the parishes of Our Lady of Grace in Greensboro, and Saint Thomas Aquinas in Charlotte so that our Catholic community from all over the Diocese of Charlotte may venerate her.
