Maddalena Caterina Morano (15 November 1847 - 26 March 1908) was an Italian Roman Catholic professed religious who was a member of the Salesian Sisters.

[1] Morano was beatified in Catania on 5 November 1994 during the occasion of the visit of Pope John Paul II to two Sicilian cities.

[3] In 1866 she graduated as a teacher and wanted to enter religious life but was denied this due to the dependence her surviving siblings and mother had on her.

[1][3] John Bosco accepted her in joining the Salesians and she made her solemn profession on 4 September 1879; the two met as Morano was walking to Buttigliera d'Asti.

The Congregation of Rites, under Pope Pius XII, formally opened the cause on 23 April 1942, granting her the posthumous title of Servant of God.

The postulation compiled and submitted the Positio to Rome in 1978 and allowed Pope John Paul II to proclaim her to be Venerable on 1 September 1988 on the account of her life of heroic virtue.
