Bl. Magdalen Panatieri

Feast Day: October 13

Blessed Magdalen was born at Turin, Italy in 1443 and while still quite young was received as a tertiary by the Sisters of Penance of Saint Dominic.

She received many spiritual graces, including the stigmata, but was best known for her ministry to the children of the town, whom she cared for and catechized. Her prayer was always that she be in the world, but not of the world.

Much revered by the people of the city, she died October 13, 1503.
