St. Joaquina Vedruna de Mas (†1854) was a Spanish professed religious and the founder of the Carmelite Sisters of Charity. She was married to a nobleman despite her desire to become a nun though she and her husband both desired a religious life; the couple bore nine children, but she and her children fled after Napoleon invaded the nation to which her husband remained to fight as a volunteer and later died leaving her free to pursue her religious inclinations. She was canonized on 12 April 1959 by Pope John XXIII in Saint Peter's Basilica.
