She was a scholar of Saint Catherine of Siena, having translated volumes-worth of her letters and prayers. (April 29 is St. Catherine’s feast day.) ...

St. Catherine of Siena Catholic Church is located at 845 W. Main St. in West Dundee. St. Mary Church is located at Matteson Street and Galligan Road in Gilberts.

If you answered 2020, I’ll give half credit. The year I have in mind was also the birth year of the saint and doctor of the Church whose feast day is April 29 — St. Catherine of Siena.

St. Catherine of Siena was a third-order Dominican, peacemaker and advisor to the Pope. She singlehandedly ended the Avignon exile of the successor of St. Peter in the 14th Century.
