Maria Grazia Tarallo
Italian Roman Catholic nun (1866-1912)
Feast: 27 July (not on the universal Roman calendar; kept in the Roman Martyrology or local calendars)
Who they were
Maria Grazia Tarallo was born at Barra, Naples, on 23 September 1866, one of seven children of parents who gave her a sound human and Christian formation; two of her sisters also became nuns in her institute.
Married, she was widowed when her husband died on 27 January 1890, nine months after their civil marriage. She then entered the Crucified Sisters Adorers of the Eucharist, taking the name Sister Maria of the Passion.
