A woman with a big heart, a sincere friend of the least and the poor, capable of great visions: Sr Maria Laura left a very important mark on the Latin American Province. with her deep inner life and her lively, determined character.

After a long period of suffering, on 10 September 2024, in Fernando de la Mora, Sr Maria Laura now rests in God.

As a young Sister, she had been a beloved teacher in the nursery school of Borgaro Torinese, where they still remember her for the rebirth of the youth centre, for her passion in involving the families of the parish, who then continued to support her in her many missions in Argentina, Paraguay, Bolivia and then Argentina and Paraguay.

40 long years of fruitful mission, during which she was also novice mistress in Los Toldos, Argentina.

We report here just a few of the heartfelt testimonies of affection:

‘So much gratitude for the testimony of her enthusiasm, passion for the poor and the joy she was able to communicate. I remember her with much affection’.

‘May the Lord receive her together with her family who preceded her and especially with the many poor she served and loved’.

‘How can we not remember, when we three young girls, were students in Cuneo. And then we found ourselves in the same religious family. And now, we have one more friend in heaven’.

Let us pray for her and for the Fernando de la Mora community that accompanied her with such affection.
