[2] Suriano was beatified in Loreto on 5 September 2004 on the occasion of the visit of Pope John Paul II there.
[1] Her religious education came from her parents and her grandparents and in 1919 she began to attend a kindergarten that the Collegiate Sisters of San Antonio managed.
[2] Suriano desired to become a nun but this dream never materialized, for her mother was opposed to her religious activism for she wanted her daughter to wed and settle down.
Guiseppina entered at the Daughters of Saint Anne in Palermo; she was forced to leave eight days later because a medical examination revealed she had a heart problem.
[1] Suriano suffered a sudden massive heart attack as she prepared to go to Mass and died as a result of this.
Pope John Paul II confirmed her heroic virtue on 18 February 1989 and named her as Venerable.
The pope later approved a miracle attributed to her intercession on 22 June 2004 and this allowed for him to preside over her beatification in Loreto on 5 September 2004.
