Feast day: April 20
St. Agnes of Montepulciano
An Italian girl made prioress of a convent while still in her teens, a Dominican mystic whose holiness drew pilgrims and who was later honored by St. Catherine of Siena.
She was running a convent before she was out of her teens, dispensed from age by the pope himself, and became one of Tuscany's most loved holy women.
