The Salesian Cooperators celebrate the sainthood of St. Maria Troncatti FMA. She is a Missionary Daughter of Mary Help of Christians and Artisan of Peace and Reconciliation.
With her strong desire to "help people to encounter Jesus" and to "give him souls", in 47 years of missionary life Sister Maria found herself faced with the "law of the forest", the revenge that reigned supreme between settlers and Shuar, which she faced with a tireless work of education, forgiveness, reconciliation, peace between the two sides: "It cares for one and the other indiscriminately, helps them to live in a more fraternal way. She dialogues and advises women farmers to sow words of goodness, justice, brotherhood and equality among the people, knowing that, through the educational power of women, it is possible to form future generations to a more respectful coexistence and acceptance of diversity" (Mother Chiara Cazzuola, Circ.1046).
