April 29- St. Catherine of Siena
St. Catherine of Siena was a member of the Dominican order and was known for being incredibly devout. She did everything she could to not draw attention to herself, even as a child, so that the focus would be on God and spent much of her time praying and advocating for the unity of the Church. May we remember to strive to be who God is calling us to be. St. Catherine of Siena, pray for us! 🙏🏼
