Maria Crocifissa Curcio
Maria Crocifissa Curcio, CMST (30 January 1877 – 4 July 1957) was an Italian Catholic religious sister who established the congregation of the Carmelite Missionary Sisters of Saint Therese of the Child Jesus.
Her sole aim was "to bring souls to God" while attempting to emulate the example of Thérèse of Lisieux. Curcio aimed to help the poor while providing educational resources to those who required it, and she had elected Thérèse as her model in spreading evangelization and the Carmelite charism.
Curcio's beatification was celebrated on 13 November 2005.
