February Saint Trivia

This Saint was a slave and treated so poorly that she forgot her own name

She first met Jesus when hiding from captivity in an Italian convent

She lived out her vocation as a religious sister with joy and forgiveness, even forgiving those who had previously enslaved and mistreated her.
