Peregrina Mogas Fontcuberta (13 January 1827 - 3 July 1886) was a Spanish Roman Catholic nun in the name of "María Ana" and the founder of the Franciscan Missionaries of the Mother of the Divine Shepherd.

[4] Peregrina Mogas Fontcuberta was born in Granollers, a textile and farming city about thirty miles from Barcelona in Spain's Catalonia region on 13 January 1827.

[3] After her parents died, her childless and widowed paternal aunt Dona Maria Mogas – who was also her godmother – raised Fontcuberta.

Impressed by Father Soler's charisma as well, as their joint dedication to the path of Francis of Assisi, Fontcuberta decided to join the religious at the school, and left all she had to follow this calling.

[2] Despite political unrest (particularly after the assassination of the progressive Prime Minister Juan Prim in December 1870), the religious persisted in their mission to educate the city's poor and help the sick.

Spain's Cardinal Archbishop of Toledo (the country's leading prelate) Cirilo de Alameda y Brea formally approved Fontcuberta's founding a new religious order, recognizing it on 16 January 1872 as the Franciscan Missionaries of the Mother of the Divine Shepherd.

Fontcuberta died at midnight on 3 July 1886 due to increasing seizures which she had begun suffering in 1878, and which led her to retire to Fuencarral in May 1886.

Pope John Paul II proclaimed M Fontcubra as Venerable on 15 December 1994 after confirming her life of heroic virtue.

voted in favor on 5 March 1996, Pope John Paul II approved the result on 25 June 1996 and beatified her on 6 October 1996.
