St Scholastica Novena
Saint Scholastica, the twin sister of Saint Benedict, was a 6th-century Italian nun who founded the first Benedictine convent and is venerated as the patroness of nuns and protection against storms. She is famously remembered for a miraculous prayer that brought forth a thunderstorm to extend a spiritual visit with her brother shortly before her death.
