September 4th is the Feastday of Blessed Agnes of Bagno. Blessed Agnes was a 12th century Camaldolese nun at Santa Lucia near Bagno di Roma in Tuscany (modern day Italy). Her shrine is at Pereto. She was a friend of Blessed Joan of Bagno di Romagna. Devotion to Blessed Agnes of Bagno was confirmed in 1823 but she is not listed in the Roman Martrology.
May we never forget the lives of these lesser known saints whose lives can still serve as great inspiration for all of us.
