Karmni Grima (2 February 1838 – 25 May 1922) was a Maltese peasant whose mystical religious experience led to the constructions and services as an apostle of Our Lady of Ta' Pinu.
Her parents, Thomas and Antonia (née Apap), were poor labourers who worked in the fields located on the nearby hills of Ghammar.
Every day, after hearing Mass (liturgy) in a small chapel dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary, Karmni would go to work in the fields.
Bishop Pietru Pace was informed about these events and after speaking to Karmni and Francesco he concluded that the voice was of heavenly origins.
In 1920 the foundation stone of a modern basilica dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary under the title of Ta' Pinu was laid.
