Blessed Imelda is beloved for her extraordinary devotion to the Holy Eucharist. As a young girl attending Mass, she longed deeply to receive Jesus in Holy Communion.
According to tradition, while Imelda knelt in prayer, the Holy Eucharist miraculously hovered above her. Witnessing this miracle, the priest reverently took the Host and gave her First Communion. Her love for the Eucharist has made her a special patron for First Communicants and children devoted to the Blessed Sacrament.
Her story beautifully reflects the joy and wonder of receiving Jesus in the Eucharist.
