Catholic Corner Answer It is St. Rose of Lima. St. Rose of Lima was the first canonized saint of the Americas. She became a saint without ever leaving her backyard. She established a free clinic for the poor and elderly in a room of her parent s house. Her parents wanted her to marry a wealthy man to help with their finances but she wanted to enter the convent. To help the family she stayed home and sold her needlework and flowers. She joined the Third Order of St. Dominic and wore the white habit and black veil of the Dominican sisters. She built a prayer hut in the backyard and lived there until she died at the age of 31. She was widely known and loved by both rich and poor.
