ST. AGNES OF ASSISI (1193-1253)
Poor Clare Nun and Abbess
A younger sister of St. Clare, she followed her sister to St. Francis's second order.
It is said that various miraculous interventions prevented her family's efforts to get
her back. Eventually, her sister sent her to set up a convent in Tuscany, the first of
many that she established. She died three months after Clare, and is buried with her.
She was canonized in 1753.
