St. Scholastica Comments
St. Scholastica, sister of St. Benedict, consecrated her life to God from her earliest youth. After her brother went to Monte Cassino, where he established his famous monastery, she took up her abode in the neighborhood at Plombariola, where she founded and governed a monastery of nuns, about five miles from that of St. Benedict, who, it appears, also directed his sister and her nuns. She visited her brother once a year, and as she was not ... Continue Reading

My birthday is on February 10th. Today after mass I decided to check our St. Scholastica and learn more about her. Could you provide me information on her life? I would like to commorate her because she is my birthday saint. Pray form me that I may be more like her.
May Saint Scholastica and her brother intercede for us,that we (brothers and sisters today) may live for God like they did.
Sweet, Saint Scholastica, sister of St. Benedict of Nursia, what an amazing life of holiness and sanctity you shared with your famous twin brother. Praise be to God for His gift, that we have of knowing you. I notice that you and your brother spent a great deal of time sharing a spiritual life together. This must have been so pleasing to God that He sent a storm to prevent your brother from leaving that evening when you asked him to stay. This experience of sharing a spiritual life, I have had with my loving mother who is now lying on her death-bed. I think I found a young friend who will share my love of God and things spiritual. He is my dear, new-found friend, young enough to be my son. Send your graces to us through your intercession, that we may be enlightened to Know God more intimately,love Him more dearly and follow Him more closely. Amen
I am SO grateful for this website. I have to present a short report on St. Scholastica tomorrow and I have been procrastinating for MONTHS! Thank the Lord for this website. All I need to do is put it in my own words and cite it!
Dear st. Scholastica, pray for me to get over my disappointment in what i perceive unfair assessment of my gymrama team. Help me to keep my faith and believe that it is for the best. Dear Saint and sister of St. Benedict, be my guiding light to sanctity. Help all children born with learning difficulties, developmental and speech delays. May they find a permanent cure for these helpless, suffering children. Amen
The twin saints, St. Benedict and St Scholastica were born in 480. St. Scholastica died in 543 according to records. She must 43 when she died.

I would really like to see a prayer book in her name. I was named after her and now trying to learn and know more about her. I have not seen any prayer book on her like st Anothy guild. Does any one have an idea if one exist.
Thank You.
Spending hours talking over the wonders of God is one of my favorite things. May God always bless the continued conversation.
It would be great if each day we could learn what the saint is patron of
We love St. Scholastica! After a pilgrimage to holy places in Italy, we were inspired to come back and start homeschooling. Our homeschool is named after St. Scholastica. And she's certainly blessed us!
