St. Elisabeth (Erzsebet) of Hungary (b. 1207 – 17 November, 1231) was the daughter of King Andrew II of Hungary (1175-1235) and his wife Gertrude of Andechs-Meran (murdered in 1213). Elisabeth was widowed whilst still young, relinquished her wealth to the poor, built hospitals, and thus became a symbol of Christian charity. She is the patron saint of hospitals, nurses, bakers, brides, countesses, dying children, exiles, homeless people, lacemakers, tertiaries and widows. Her feast day is 17 November (formerly 19 November). ...more on Wikipedia about "Elisabeth of Hungary"
Magdalena de la Cruz (1487-1560) was a Franciscan nun of Córdoba, who for many years was honoured as a saint. On the other hand St. Ignatius Loyola had always regarded her with suspicion. Falling dangerously ill in 1543, Magdalena confessed to a long career of hypocrisy, ascribing most of the marvels to the action of demons by which she was possessed, but maintaining their reality. She was sentenced by the Inquisition, in an auto-da-fé at Córdoba in 1546, to perpetual imprisonment in an abbey of her order, and there she is believed to have ended her days most piously amid marks of the sincerest repentance. ...more on Wikipedia about "Magdalena de la Cruz"

Born in Heppenheim ( Germany) and entered religious life in Syracuse, New York, she worked, lived and died for the lepers on the island of Moloka‘i in Hawai‘i. She was not herself inflicted by the disease, a fact arguably declared to be miraculous considering her close contact with the patients over the course of several years, earning her the title, Blessed Marianne of Moloka‘i. ...more on Wikipedia about "Mother Marianne Cope"
