Monday, 27 March was the festival of Blessed Frowin of Engelberg, Abbot, O.S.B. (died 1178): Blessed-link & Wikipedia-link.
'Twas also the festival of Blessed Francesco Faà di Bruno, Priest (1825-1888), founder of the Minim Sisters of Saint Zita: Blessed-link & Wikipedia-link; Wikipedia-link Sisters (Italian).
