Francinaina Cirer Carbonell (1 June 1781 – 27 February 1855) was a Spanish Roman Catholic member of the Sisters of Charity of Saint Vincent de Paul of Mallorca and later assumed the religious name Francinaina of the Sorrowful Mother of God. She was illiterate but later founded the Community of the Sisters of Charity despite this impediment. She also experienced angelic visions on numerous occasions. She was beatified on 1 October 1989 and a second miracle is now under investigation.[1][2]
