Saint Alphonsa of the Immaculate Conception (†1946), was a nun and an educator in the Kottayam pergunna of the erstwhile Travancore province (present-day Kerala) of India. She is venerated as a Saint and known for being a victim soul, visionary and prophetess. She is the first woman of Indian origin to be canonized as a saint after decades of inquiry by the Sacred Congregation for the Causes of Saints, she is also the first saint of the Syro-Malabar Church, an Eastern Catholic community of Eastern Christianity. Alphonsa was beatified in 1986 by Pope John Paul II during his apostolic pilgrimage to India. She was canonized in the Vatican City by Pope Benedict XVI on 12 October 2008.
