St. Scholastica

Parish

Lecanto, Florida

About

The Catholic community at 4301 W. Homosassa Trail, Lecanto, FL, draws inspiration from the remarkable life of St. Scholastica, a consecrated virgin and twin sister of St. Benedict of Nursia. Born in 480 AD in Nursia, Italy, St. Scholastica dedicated her life to prayer and service, founding the first community of Benedictine nuns at Plombariola. She is revered as the patron saint of cloistered and Benedictine sisters, education, convulsive children, and protection against violent storms. The community honors her feast day on February 10 and seeks her intercession for those pursuing a deeper life of prayer, students, teachers, and anyone seeking comfort in times of turmoil. Through her example of humility, steadfast faith, and sisterly love, St. Scholastica encourages all who enter the parish to strive for holiness with gentle devotion, emulating her extraordinary commitment to a life of service and devotion to God.
