Feast day: September 4

A girl of Viterbo who as a child preached in the streets for the pope against a tyrant's rule, was exiled with her family for it, and died at eighteen.
Barely into her teens, she stood on the street corners of her city preaching loyalty to the Church — and was banished for it before she was grown.
