Prudence Castori
Who they were
Prudence belonged to the noble Milanese family of the Casatori and joined the Hermitesses of St Augustine in Milan. She was made superior of the convent of St Mark at Como, where she healed divisions between two communities and helped restore the church of the Visitation.
She governed the house at Como for thirty-eight years and died in 1492. Butler notes that her fame rests mainly on miracles reported after her death, and that materials for her life are scarce.

The cause
