Biography

Blessed Archangela Girlani, also known as Eleanor Girlani, was born in 1460 in Trino, Italy. From a young age, she felt a strong calling to religious life and had a deep desire to become a Benedictine nun. However, when she set out for the convent, her horse inexplicably refused to move. Taking this as a sign from God, Eleanor interpreted it as a sign to change her course.
