Feast day: April 9
St. Waudru
A noblewoman of the Frankish court who, with her husband's agreement, left wealth and rank to found a convent around which the city of Mons grew up.
Her whole family became saints — husband, sister, and children alike — and the town of Mons in Belgium grew around the religious house she founded.
