St. Catherine of Siena

St. Catherine was a doctor, but not a not a medicine doctor.  She was a Doctor of the Church, and the only woman one.

She had a lot of brothers and sisters, twenty-four! She was nice to all her brothers and sisters...so that makes her a saint to me because I know how hard that is to do.

When she was little she could see her Guardian Angels and angels for other people too.  I wish I could see my special angel...I would talk to him all the time.  My mom says I can do that with out seeing him, like when I pray at night.  I will try that.

St. Catherine was very smart about God things.  She even went to the Pope to try to change his mind about living in France.  He finally listened to her and went back to Rome.

Her feast day is in April and we like to celebrate with a special Italian meal.

"One who knows more, loves more."
-St. Catherine of Sienna
