Santa Catalina ng Sweden, Birhen, Daughter of St. Brigida

San Catalina of Sweden (1331-1381) ay the anak na babae of San Brigida, the renowned mistiko at foundress of the Brigittine Order. Siya ipinanganak sa Sweden and, like kanyang mother, inilaan ang kanyang buhay sa spiritual pursuits. Catalina accompanied kanyang ina on pilgrimages to Rome at Banal na Lupain, at pagkatapos Brigida's death, siya continued kanyang mother's work, founding a kumbento in Vadstena, Sweden. Catalina ay sinasamba dahil sa kanyang debosyon, kababaang-loob, at commitment to Simbahan. Siya ang patrona ng Sweden, widows, at victims of abuse.
