'''Saint Maria Troncatti''' (born 16 February 1883, died 25 August 1969) was an [[Saints|Italian saint]], religious sister, and missionary, revered for her work among the Shuar people in Ecuador’s Amazon rainforest. Born in Corteno Golgi, Brescia, [[Italy]], to Cesare Troncatti and Maria Sigismondi, she joined the Daughters of Mary Help of Christians (Salesian Sisters) in 1908, taking her vows in 1910. Sent to Ecuador in 1922, she served as a nurse, catechist, and educator, founding missions and earning the Shuar’s trust, who called her “mamacita.” She died in a plane crash in Sucúa, Ecuador. Beatified on 24 November 2012 by Pope Benedict XVI, her canonization is scheduled for 19 October 2025 by Pope Francis. Her relics are venerated in Macas, Ecuador, and she is honored in the [[Roman Catholic Church|Catholic]] and [[Orthodox Church|Orthodox]] traditions.<ref name="web0">https://www.cgfmanet.org/en-us/News/Detail/canonization-of-sister-maria-troncatti</ref><ref name="web2">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maria_Troncatti</ref><ref name="web9">https://www.infoans.org/en/latest-news/italy-the-photo-and-slogan-for-the-canonisation-of-sister-maria-troncatti</ref>
