St. Scholastica
Feb 10
Patron Saint of Convulsive Children
Scholastica, the twin sister of St. Benedict, consecrated her life to God when she was very young. After her brother established his monastery at Mount Cassino, she resided in the neighborhood at Plombariola, about five miles from where her brother lived.
Scholastica founded a monastery of nuns that was governed by Benedict, though still under her own direction.
