Devotees of Saint Maria Goretti are invited to join the Holy Mass Monday, July 6, which will be streamed live at 7 a.m. from the St. Maria Goretti Parish in Ermita, Manila, in solemn commemoration of her feast day.
In Nettuno, Italy, which is near her birthplace, devotees traditionally visit her major shrine, the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Graces and St. Maria Goretti, where she was buried.
St. Maria died on July 6, 1902 after she was stabbed by her neighbor, Alessandro Serenelli, who tried to rape her. While in jail, the unrepentant Alessandro had a vision of St. Maria offering him flowers that eventually paved the way for his repentance and conversion. Alessandro later became a priest.
