Pina Suriano (1915–1950)

Secular

Italian laywoman of Catholic Action, Pina Suriano lived her baptism through prayer, formation and apostolic service in her parish of Partinico.

Biography

From a young age he taught catechism, accompanied girls and actively collaborated in ecclesial life. He wanted to consecrate himself, but various family and health circumstances prevented him from doing so; then he offered his life for the sanctification of the priests. He accepted a serious heart illness with faith and died at the age of thirty-five, leaving the testimony of a fully dedicated lay vocation.

Practical advice

Pray today for a specific priest and collaborate responsibly in a real need in your parish.
