Italian immigrants
Montreal, Quebec, Canada
Date: 1930
Notes: Annina Evangelista was born in Montreal in 1922, one of thirteen children. Her father who was born in Chieti, Abruzzi, came to Canada in 1911. Here he found work with CP rails. He returned to Italy and there married a native of Molise. At age 15 Annina Evangelista developed juvenile arthritis, severely restricting her mobility, but not her spirit ("Annina Evangelista e un simbolo di forza d'animo e di saper vivere per tutti."). Her faith sustained her. She and her parents, who were very religious, often prayed together, bringing light into her life....
      The photo and short biography of Annina Evangelista were first published in Centro Dante's "album di Famiglia, 1996." Permission to use the material was granted by Santa Cabrini Hospital's administration. For further information visit: www.sanacabrini.qc.ca.
