Maria Repetto (1 November 1807 – 5 January 1890) was an Italian Roman Catholic professed religious from the Sisters of Our Lady of Refuge in Mount Calvary.
[1] Repetto was an ardent devotee of Saint Joseph and promoted devotion to him while distributing medals and images of him to those who visited the convent she was at; she also distinguished herself as an able carer for cholera victims on two occasions of epidemic.
Her sight began to fail and so she was made the portress and the gatekeeper of the convent that she was stationed at where she would promote a devotion to Saint Joseph and distribute both medals and images of him to people.
[1] Repetto suffered a minor convulsion and died mere moments later in 1890 and her final words were: "Regina coeli laetare hallelujah".
Theologians approved her spiritual writings on 18 November 1941; the formal introduction to her cause opened under Pope Pius XII on 11 March 1949 and she was made a Servant of God.
