Who they were

At Milan, Blessed Maria Anna Sala, virgin of the Congregation of the Sisters of Saint Marcellina, who, a teacher of a knowledge founded on faith and piety, devoted herself with all her strength to the education of girls.

The miracles

The Roman Martyrology does not describe the miracles approved in the cause.

Why that counted as sanctity

The Roman Martyrology remembers her on 24 November as a Marcelline sister of Milan devoted to the education of girls.

The cause

The cause continues. No postulation address is published here yet. Favours received through this person’s intercession, and offers of help, are best sent to the religious order or congregation they belonged to, or to the diocese where the cause was opened; either will pass them to the postulation.

A miracle approved by the Holy See is needed for the next step. If you know the postulation’s own page, tell us and it will be added here.
