April 10 Saints of the Day

Saint Magdalen of Canossa (1774-1835)

A wealthy Italian girl rejected as a Carmelite, so she began offering lodging to poor girls in her own home. In time she opened a school, which offered practical training and religious instruction. As other women joined her in the work, the new Congregation of the Daughters of Charity emerged. Over time, houses were opened throughout Italy.

Magdalen also founded a smaller congregation for priests and brothers. Both groups continue to this day.
