Join us on Sunday, October 26, 2025, at the 11:00 AM Solemn Mass to celebrate the 15^th Anniversary of Saint Camilla Battista Varani’s Canonization. She was canonized a saint by Pope Benedict XVI on October 17, 2010.

Born in 1458, Saint Camilla Battista Varani was the daughter of Duke Julius Caesar Varani of Camerino, Italy. Saint Camilla forfeited her royal heritage to devote her life to Christ, becoming a cloistered Poor Clare nun at age 23. Accounted as being one of the most accomplished scholars of her time, Saint Camilla wrote several works in both Latin and Italian. Throughout her life, Saint Camilla strived to identify herself with the sufferings of Jesus and His Passion.

In her writings, Saint Camilla recounts experiencing the pains of the stigmata and the experience of Jesus appearing to her.   .
We welcome everyone to join us to celebrate this joyous occasion.
