Venerable Thecla Merlo was an Italian religious and a co-founder of the Daughters of St. Paul with Bl. James Alberione, in 1922. She was the first Superior General, laying the foundation of the order of evangelization through social communication. Her sanctity consists of daily steadfast sacrifice and simple obedience to God’s will. Mother Theclo traveled the world visiting her sisters and promoting the Pauline vocation. She died of a brain hemorrhage with Fr. Alberione at her side.
