Albertina Berkenbrock

Albertina Berkenbrock , known under the name of " Maria Goretti of Brésil" , (Imaruí, April 11th, 1919 — June 15th, 1931) was a virgin laic Martyre Catholique Brésilienne.

It is born and grows in a very pious family. Like Holy Maria Goretti, Albertina is badgered by one with the employees with his father who then tries to violate it. She opposes a strong resistance, and its attacker, realizing that he will not arrive to his ends and fearing to be then recognized, stabs it in the middle with a penknife. Assassinated at 12 years, according to the Catholic church “by defending its purity “, she is considered " Martyrdom of the purity ".

Its lawsuit in beatification begins in 2000 and she is declared Bienheureuse in 2007 by Benoît {{XVI}}. It is celebrated on June 15th.
