- Tzo Blato Marija Petković came from the rich family and the small Blato and enter the poor convent and the big world. Her Congegration of Doughters of Mercy is active in three continents spreading her ideas of humility and mercy. Blessed Marija Petković was born in Blato. She was sixth of eight children of Antun and Marija. The family was rich, but in her childhood she decided to protect and help the poor. The foundation and the growth of the congregation In 1919 she moves with five girls into an abandoned monastery in Blato. They want to help the poor and that was the baseof the future Congregation of Daughters of Mercy of St. Francis (the only congregation founded in Croatia). In 1920, encouraged by the Dubrovnik bishop she founds the Congregation of Daughters of Mercy. On the inauguration of the order Marija received the name Mary of Jesus Crucified. The first convent was founded in Blato, the second in Subotica in Serbia. In the year 1936 a group of sisters went to South America, and in 1940 Marija went there and started her work in Argentina. Because of the war in Europe she stayed in South America for 12 years and founded many convents there. In 1952 Blessed Marija returns to Europe and sets up the Congregation's headquarters in Rome. In 1966 she dies in Rome with the reputation for sanctity. She was buried in the Roman cemetery of Campo Verano. To the very end of her life she encouraged her sisters to honour God as Father and to honour his charity. Beatification In 1986 the procedure for her beatification was started in Rome. On 26 August 1988, the Peruvian submarine BAP Pacocha was rammed and sunk by a Japanese fishing trawler. Roger Cotrina Alvarado distinguished himself during the disaster – praying for Petković's aid, Cotrina displayed superhuman strength in opening a hatch against several thousands of pounds of water. That action prevented the immediate deaths of 22 crewmen, and Cotrina's subsequent heroic but merely temporal actions brought about their rescue. In 1998 earthly remains of Marija Petković were translated from Rome to Blato. On June 6, 2003 Pope John Paul II celebrated her beatification Mass in Dubrovnik, officially recognizing her as "Blessed”. Thus she became the first Croatian blessed women. The congregation today Today, her Congregation has more then 400 nuns and is active in Europe (Croatia, Serbia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Slovenia, Germany, Italy, Romania), South America (Argentina, Paraguay, Chile and Peru) and in Canada.

Marija Propetog Petković krenula je iz bogate obitelji i malog Blata u siromašno redovništvo i veliki svijet. Njezina Družba Kćeri Milosrđa danas djeluje na tri kontinenta šireći njene ideje poniznosti i milosrđa. Blažena Marija Petković, rodila se u Blatu, na otoku Korčuli. Bila je šesto od osmero djece u obitelji Antuna i Marije Petković-Kovača. Obitelj je bila bogata, ali ona je odmalena odlučila štititi i pomagati siromahe. Osnivanje i širenje redovničke zajednice 1919. započinje zajednički život s pet djevojaka u napuštenom samostanu u Blatu. Želeći pomagati siromasima i potrebnima postavlja temelje svoje buduće redovničke zajednice Kćeri Milosrđa sv. Franje (jedine redovničke zajednice osnovane u Hrvatskoj). 1920. na poticaj dubrovačkog biskupa utemeljuje Družbu Kćeri Milosrđa, a na redovničkom oblačenju dobiva ime Marija Propetog Isusa. Prvi samostan osnovan je u Blatu, a drugi u Subotici u Srbiji. Godine 1936. prva grupa sestara uputila se u Južnu Ameriku, a 1940. s drugom grupom je pošla i Marija i započela svoj rad u Argentini. Zbog rata u Europi provela je u Južnoj Americi dvanaest godina te ondje osnovala brojne redovničke zajednice i samostane. 1952. blažena Marija vraća se u Europu i prenosi u Rim vrhovnu upravu reda i generalnu kuću. 1966. umire na glasu svetosti u Rimu gdje je i pokopana na rimskom groblju Campo Vearano. Do same smrti nije se umarala poticati svoje sestre neka ponašanjem i žrtvom pokazuju kako se i u njima utjelovila Božja ljubav, dobrota i milosrđe. Beatifikacija U Rimskom vikarijatu, 1986, pokrenut je postupak za njezino proglašenje blaženom. Dana 26. kolovoza 1988. dogodilo se čudo njenim zagovorom. Podmornica peruanske vojne mornarice "Pacoca" doživjela je nesreću i mornari su bili u životnoj opasnosti. Roger Cottrina, 42-godišnji poručnik ispričao je kako se u tim teškim trenucima obratio službenici Božjoj Mariji Petković, o kojoj su mu govorile sestre Kćeri Milosrđa, tijekom njegova boravka u mornaričkoj bolnici, gdje je čitao i njezin životopis te je uvjeren da je ona posredovala u spašavanju njega i većeg djela mornara na podmornici. 1998. zemni ostaci Marije Propetog Petković prenose se iz Rima u rodno Blato. Papa Ivan Pavao II. proglasio ju je blaženom 6. lipnja 2003. u Dubrovniku, prilikom III pastoralnog posjeta Hrvatskoj, i time je postala prva hrvatska blaženica. Redovnička zajednica u današnje vrijeme Redovnička zajednica Kćeri Milosrđa sv. Franje danas ima 429 časnih sestara, koje djeluju u državama Europe (Hrvatska, Srbija, Bosna i Hercegovina, Slovenija, Njemačka, Italija, Rumunjska) i Južne Amerike (Argentina, Paragvaj, Čile i Peru) te u Kanadi.
