Blessed Laura Vicuña Pino (1891 – 1904) was a Chilean child who was beatified by the Roman Catholic Church. She is the patron of abuse victims, having herself experienced physical abuse. One of her famous sayings is "Suffer silently and Smile always." The Salesian Sisters of Don Bosco started Laura's canonization process in the 1950s and on September 3, 1988, saw Laura's beatification by Pope John Paul II. Her feastday is celebrated on January 22.
