St. Agostina Pietrantoni (†1894) was an Italian professed religious and a nurse from the Thourets who worked in the Santo Spirito hospital in Rome where she tended to ill victims in a tuberculosis ward before a patient murdered her in 1894. Her canonization was held on 18 April 1999 in Saint Peter's Square. The canonization cause opened on 14 December 1945 under Pope Pius XII - she was then made a Servant of God - while Pope Paul VI named her as Venerable on 19 September 1968 before he beatified her on 12 November 1972. Her feast day is celebrated on 13 November and she is considered to be a Patron Saint of Abuse victims, Martyrs, People in poverty, People ridiculed for their piety, and Nurses.
