Marie-Alphonsine Danil Ghattas was born on October 1843 in Jerusalem. Since her childhood she desired to consecrate her life to God. She asked to enter the institute of the Sisters of Saint Joseph of the Apparition when she was only 14. Later, she had visions of Her Lady, who asked her to found a new institute dedicated to the Holy Rosary. In 1880, with seven other young ladies, she opened the new community. She worked much to open new communities throughout the Holy Land, working hand in hand with father Joseph Tannous, co-founder of the institute and her spiritual director. Sister Marie Alphonsine died on March 25th, 1927.
