Lindalva Justo de Oliveira, D.C.On 9 April 1993, Good Friday Lindalva Justo De Oliveira  was brutally murdered by a resident of Dom Pedro II Home where she worked serving the sick poor. Because the date of her death, 9 April, generally falls during Lent or Easter, her memorial has been set for the date of her baptism, 7 January. See the Vincentian Encyclopedia for more details.

    Sr. Marguerite Broderick, DC sent these words from the writings of Bl. Lindalva. “”My vocation is to love, to live joyfully and to tirelessly do good for those who are poor.”
