A sister of the Congregation of the Daughters of the Most Sacred and Immaculate Heart of Mary, born on 25 October 1895 at Riudarenas in the province and diocese of Girona into a farming family; after a serious illness she decided to embrace the consecrated life, received the religious habit on 2 February 1922, made her temporary vows on 3 February 1923 and her perpetual vows in 1926, and was known for her gentleness and her great patience with her pupils and her community.
She was beatified on 28 October 2007 by Benedict XVI, with her two sisters.
