Our Patroness
Our Lady of the Garden
Our Lady of the Garden: A Story of Faith and Miracles The devotion to Our Lady of the Garden dates back to 1493 in Chiavari, Italy, during a devastating cholera epidemic. Maria dei Quercio, nicknamed "Turchina," promised a public act of gratitude to the Blessed Virgin Mary if her family was spared. Her prayers were answered, and in thanksgiving, she commissioned artist Benedict Borzone to paint an image of Mary, flanked by Saints Sebastian and Rocco, on a wall near the town gardens. The image came to be known as “Madonna dell’ Orto” or “Our Lady of the Garden.“

Our Charism
“Attentive to the needs of the times, in creative fidelity to the founding Charism, Vigilant Evangelical Charity, we do our best for the good of all persons, with a special love for the poor. Our service of charity within the Church is expressed in self-giving and selflessness: “oblivious of personal interest or comfort, and even of ourselves.” In sisterly communion, we joyfully take up the challenge of becoming everything to everyone, with a commitment, which knows no limit other than the impossible or the inopportune” (C.3).

Mother Caterina Podestà
Mother Caterina Podestà (1809–1865), Co-foundress of the Daughters of Our Lady of the Garden, was a woman of deep faith, courage, and charity. Guided by St. Antonio Gianelli, she embraced a life of total consecration after the death of her husband, dedicating herself to serving the sick, the poor, and the dying. In 1831, she entered the first community in Chiavari and soon became a pillar of the Institute’s growth. Her zeal led her beyond diocesan boundaries—to La Spezia, Bobbio, and Ventimiglia—where she organized communities and embodied heroic charity, especially during the cholera epidemic.
