The first canonizations of Pope Pius XII were two women, the founder of a female order, Mary Euphrasia Pelletier, and a nanny and housekeeper, Gemma Galgani. Pelletier had a reputation for opening new ways for Catholic charities, helping people in difficulties with the law, who so far were neglected by the system and the Church. Galgani was a rather unknown girl whose virtue, charity and devotion became model by her canonization. The saints include: Pope Pius XII opened the canonization procedures for Pope Pius IX, who was beatified by Pope John Paul II.
