"Francisca de Paula de Jesus, also known as Nhá Chica ("Aunt Francie" in Portuguese), was an Afro-Brazilian Catholic laywoman and popular religious figure known for her humble life and her dedication to God. Nhá Chica bore no surname and was an illegitimate child born to a slave mother; she herself was a slave until being freed in 1820 which allowed her to dedicate herself to the plight of the region's poor and the construction of a Marian chapel near which she resided for the remainder of her life." Her feast day is June 14th.

Thank you for checking out this video. This channel is focused on new saints, blesseds, and venerables of the Catholic Church, as well as other Catholics who are on the path to sainthood. It also covers Catholic martyrs of the 20th and 21st centuries. If you know about an inspiring Catholic who is currently on the path to sainthood, please let me know and I can try to cover them in the future! God bless! And be sure to check out the other saint stories on my channel!
