Rosa Francisca Dolors Molas Vallvé
Rosa Francisca Dolors Molas Vallvé (24 March 1815 – 11 June 1876) was a Spanish Roman Catholic religious sister. Following her solemn religious profession she assumed the name of "Maria Rosa" and also established the religious congregation known as the Sisters of Our Lady of Consolation.
Vallvé decided that her order would be devoted to women and to service of the poor who most needed aid.
Pope Paul VI beatified her in mid-1977 and she was canonized in late 1988 after recognition of three miracles attributed to her intercession. She is a patron saint of her congregation.
