She became more involved in Catholic order with the help of her friends. Her desire for the Eucharist has led her to be a strong leader in the Catholic Church. Although Elizabeth lost her mother at a young age, she believed that the Blessed Virgin was truly her mother, which she asked to lead her to the Primitive Faith where Elizabeth officially joined the Catholic Church in 180 5. She then started a school in Maryland suggested by the president of St. Mary’s College.

Angela is described as the prettiest of her four sisters and was considered well-named by Bayardo San Roman, who had admitted that it was the first impression of her name that had really caught his attention and was one of the main reasons he chose to marry her after taking just one look at her from afar. Her first name, Angela means “angel” (messenger of God) and her last name, Vicario is an actual last name in Spanish which means “a vicar” (a member of the church who exercises a range of pastoral responsibilities and is usually a representative of the Bishop). This is all quite ironic because Angela is not a virgin and thus, not pure. Her confession caused her brothers, Pedro and Pablo to seek revenge by terminating the man that had taken her virginity, which results in a violent tragedy which is not holy or righteous in any way. The death of Santiago Nasar had caused the brothers to face a lot of misery, only due to the order of their sister, Angela Vicario. By exhibiting this, Gabriel Garcia Marquez shows the hidden power of women that only Angela had in the Columbian society at that time.

Clearly, Angela is the name of McCourt’s mom. She was a hard working and dedicated mother.
