Giuseppina Nicoli (18 November 1863 - 31 December 1924) was the fifth of ten children born to a pious family of Casatisma, Pavia, Italy. She joined the Daughters of Charity of Saint Vincent de Paul at the San Salvario house in Turin, Italy on 24 September 1883. In 1885 she was assigned to the island of Sardegna; she spent most of her life ministering to the poor there.
In June of 1899 she became the director of the Sassari orphanage, and spent her free time teaching catechism to the poor, the illiterate, and the daughters of rich people whose children went to fine schools with no religious education. She encouraged Eucharistic Adoration, supported the Associazione dei Figli di Maria (Association of the Sons of Mary), and was director of the Associazione delle Figlie di Maria (Association of the Daughters of Mary).
From 1910 to August 1914 she was recalled to Turin to serve as provincial administrator and then as director of the seminary, but her superiors finally understood the level of work she had done in Sardegna, and returned her there. Though the civil government had become decidedly anti-clerical, she continued her good work, and even opened a School of Religion for young people. Worked with sick infants and children at the Marina Colony of the Poetto for several years, and turned part of the building into a hospital for wounded soldiers during World War I.
During the whole of her time on the island she worked whenever possible with the Monelli di Maria (Urchins of Mary), children who were orphaned, homeless, abandoned, or thrown out of the house by their families. She got them to Mass, taught them catechism, to read and to write, and made sure they learned a trade so they could leave life on the streets. All this was done with the secret admiration of, but the open scorn of most authorities who did not think such children could be reformed or saved.
At 9am on 31 December 1924 she died in Cagliari, Italy of bronchial pneumonia. Her birth family wanted to bury her next to her parents in Casatisma, but the people of Cagliari begged that she not leave them, and the family agreed. In October 1932 her body was moved to the chapel at the Asilo della Marina, Cagliari.
She was declared venerable on 28 April 2006 by Pope Benedict XVI, who then beatified her on 3 February 2008 in a celebration at the Square of the Basilica of Our Lady of Bonaria, Cagliari, Italy, presided by Cardinal José Saraiva Martins.

The Ted Kennedy Club is a liberal club in St Andrews. It was established in 2005 at the University of St Andrews as a spoof of the socially exclusive Kate Kennedy Club. It has since evolved into a full university society, and acts as a counterweight to the conservative Kate Kennedy and Strafford Clubs at the University of St Andrews. Considering that both the Strafford and the Kate Kennedy Clubs are apolitical, the "Ted Kennedy Club" appears to have very little purpose at all. The club runs charity events and hosts guest speakers. Its membership is open to all who want to join.
Foundation
The inspiration for the Ted Kennedy Club came from several influences, including despair at the largely conservative political scene and a desire to improve the quality of political dialogue at St Andrews. The club has no official relation to Massachusetts Senator Ted Kennedy, although many of the founding members admire his policies including calling for universal healthcare for Americans.
Its first meeting, in November 2005, was not without its organisational difficulties. The club pioneered an eye-catching spoof logo for its flyer, but the flyer was frequently torn down by other students. Also, nobody was sure how to start or run a university society, information easily found by asking the Student Union, which nobody bothered to do. There is now an established committee, which has growing experience in dealing with the .
Aims
The Ted Kennedy Club has three aims:
#Promoting the values of liberalism in St Andrews
#Enhancing the quality of political dialogue in St Andrews
#Improving the standard of parties in St Andrews
Relationship to Ted Kennedy
Senator Kennedy is aware of the existence of the club and sent a letter of support for our aims and activities in January 2006. The club has an official external affiliation to the Massachusetts Democratic Party. The club would have worked with the University to invite Ted Kennedy to receive an honorary degree, but its policy for selecting candidates for an honorary degree excludes serving politicians. Nevertheless, the club should not be viewed as a branch of Democrats Abroad.
Membership
Anybody and everybody is allowed to join the Ted Kennedy Club. There is currently around 30 paid members and a mailing list of 130. Elections are held each year to establish a committee. The committee is currently Frank O'Donnell (President), Gordon Wentz (Vice-President), Fiona Hyslop (Treasurer), Becky Chambers (Secretary), Chris Bennett (Events Organiser), Nick Pooley (Publicity), John Reeks (Honours Rep) and Louise Cowan (SubHonours Rep). An EGM will be held on November 16th to elect members to the new positions of Clothing Rep and First Year Rep.
Upcoming Events
Dr Ben Thirkell-White of the St Andrews International Relations department will be giving a lecture entitled "The Future of the IMF" on Thursday November 16th at 7:00pm, School II, St Salvator's Quad. The club is planning to work with the University to invite US Ambassador Tuttle for a debate in spring 2007.
