Sister M. Krizina Bojanc, FDC (14 May 1885 – 15 December 1941), baptized Jožefa, was a Slovenian Roman Catholic nun, farmer, and martyr.[1]
She was a sister of the Institute of the Daughters of Divine Charity, and is one of the five Blessed Martyrs of Drina.[2] The prayer day for the five sisters is 15th of every month.[3]
Pope Benedict XVI beatified Bojanc and her four fellow Sisters of the Congregation of the Daughters of Divine Charity and declared them blessed on 14 January 2011.[4] The ceremony was held in Sarajevo, Bosnia-Herzegovina, on 24 September 2011, and Italian Cardinal Angelo Amato attended and celebrated the mass on behalf of Pope Benedict.[5]
Bojanc had an agricultural vocation, farming to grow food and also tending cattle that supplied the sisters' charity schools and homes.[6]
