Her commemoration underscores her leadership in founding a Benedictine community for women.

Overview

  • Scholastica, sister of Saint Benedict, is traditionally remembered for annual meetings with him at Montecassino devoted to prayer and reflection.
  • She established a community of nuns following the Benedictine rule, a milestone for female monastic life in the West.
  • The observance is tied to the date of her death, reported as around 543, while one account places Benedict’s death after their final meeting in 547.
  • Today’s listings also honor figures such as William of Maleval, Ángel de Furcio, Antoliano, Brinolfo Algotsson, Mateo Correa, and Paul Miki and companions, with coverage noting the cultural practice of celebrating a person’s name-day, or onomástica.
