Feast day: January 12
Saint Caesaria the Younger established a convent in 512, and served as its first abbess. Her convent became very popular, especially with women who had been widowed. Saint Caesaria’s house soon expanded to include hundreds of sisters. She and her sisters exhibited great devotion and care for the poor, the sick, and children. Saint Caesaria the Younger carried out her ministry until she passed on to her heavenly reward in 530.
