Scholastica


 

Scholastica (c. 480 - 543) is a Catholic saint. Born in Italy, she was the (twin?) sister of St. Benedict of Nursia. St. Gregory the Great in his Dialogues tells us that she was a nun and leader of a community for women about five miles from St Benedict's Abbey of Monte Cassino. We don't know what rule this community followed, although it seems most likely it was the Rule of St Benedict.
