María Antonia de Paz y Figueroa, also known as Mama Antula, was an eighteenth-century religious sister born in Villa Silípica. Dedicated to God from her youth, she lived as a laywoman in a small community to serve the poor, the sick, and children. She is most recognized for her efforts to restore the Ignatian Spiritual Exercises throughout the River Plate region following the expulsion of the Jesuits. She eventually founded the Daughters of the Divine Savior, a religious order, and became the first female saint from Argentina.
