  • Magdalene of Canossa

    St Magdalene (1774-1835) was born into the wealthy Marquis Ottavio di Canossa family, Italy. Her father died when she was five years old and her mother left the family home two years later. At 17, she joined a Carmelite monastery but soon departed, still searching for ways to fulfil her lifetime vocation.
