St. Josephine Bakhita
Virgin, Religious Sister (Canossian Daughters of Charity), Patroness of Sudan and South Sudan, Patroness of Trafficking Survivors
Kidnapped and enslaved as a child in Sudan, so traumatized she forgot her own birth name, Bakhita endured years of brutal abuse before finding freedom, faith, and religious life in Italy — and became one of the clearest living proofs that forgiveness can outlast even the worst evil done to a person.

St. Maximilian Kolbe
