Rani Maria Vattalil, FCC (29 January 1954 – 25 February 1995) was an Indian Catholic religious sister and social worker in the Franciscan Clarists who worked in the Diocese of Indore.[1] Vattalil, a Syro-Malabar Eastern Catholic, dedicated herself to catechetical formation and educational instruction in different areas of the region. She was vocal in matters of social justice, which led to her murder by those opposed to her aid of the poor.[2]
Vattali's cause for canonization was opened after her death, and she was beatified in Indore on 4 November 2017.[3][4]
