Mary was born in Mornese, a small, hidden town in Northern Italy. Her family was poor and simple, but rich in faith-life and work ethic. Young Mary was known for her cheerful spirit and willingness to help others, but she had a feisty temperament. Controlling it was something she would have to work at all of her life. At fifteen, she joined the Association of the Daughters of Mary Immaculate and began her apostolate among the young people of her village.

Lyrics...
O Saint Maria Mazzarello
A fond Mother and True Friend
Your Sisters young and old
You loved with a heart of gold.
EVVIVA MAZZARELLO!
Saint Maria Mazzarello,
Bright Star of Mornesian sky,
The right hand of Don Bosco
You saved the erring youth.
The SDB and the FMA,
Two springs, but of same source
and charism, the gift of God
Which Mother Mary tended.
From the streets to Sainthood,
Many youth you led.
With the Eucharistic food
The hungry hearts you fed.
Bridge
Education- a matter of the heart,
From loving kindness never parts;
Reason, Religion, and friendly presence
Are its essential parts.
