Elisabetta Tasca Serena
The Vatican record
- 6 December 2014 — Heroic virtue declared — title Venerable (decree list, 2014)
Who they were
Elisabetta Tasca Serena (24 April 1899 – 3 November 1978) was an Italian Roman Catholic laywoman. Tasca was devout in her childhood since her religious upbringing came from her parents; this was something that she would later pass on to her own children. In 1921 she was married and she and her husband had twelve children with four of them entering the religious life. Tasca was tireless in tending to her ill husband before his death and after that dedicated herself to involvement in her parish and in tending to her children and grandchildren.
